What's in the Diabetes Starter Kit?

Glucometer
A device for measuring the concentration of glucose in the blood, typically using a small drop of blood which is then placed on a test strip in the meter. This process results in a blood sugar level number. The blood sugar number helps a person know what and how much of medication is needed to keep the blood sugar in appropriate range for optimal health.

Glucometer Strips
Individual strips that are placed in Glucometer to obtain the blood sample for the reading.

Lancets
A small medical implement used to prick a finger and obtain a small capillary blood sample to use on glucometer strip.

Alcohol Swabs
Gauze soaked pads soaked with alcohol used to clean a patch of skin prior to a puncture.

Sharps Container
Sharps disposal containers are made from rigid puncture-resistant plastic with lid to accommodate depositing a sharp used but not large enough for a hand for safe disposal of lancets and needles.
