Test blood sugar at home
With the Quicktest blood glucose meter you can quickly and easily measure your blood sugar. You can easily do the test at home and after only 5 seconds you can read your blood sugar value on the blood sugar meter.
A blood glucose meter is an important tool for keeping track of your blood sugar levels so that they are stable. If you are able to maintain a consistent blood sugar level in your everyday life, you are well on your way to a satisfactory HbA1c value (long-term sugar). If you have diabetes, it is especially important to measure your blood sugar levels. However, it can also be a good idea to check your blood sugar levels if you have other metabolic diseases that affect your blood sugar or if you suffer from severe blood sugar fluctuations.
If blood sugar is above 8 mmol/l for a long time, the elevated blood sugar levels can cause long-term complications.Primarily, this concerns an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes, but also kidney failure, cancer, dementia and several other age-related diseases.
Regular blood sugar measurements make it easier to detect how blood sugar varies throughout the day. Good habits and diet can help you achieve more stable blood sugar levels.

Measuring blood sugar with the Quicktest blood sugar meter is very simple:
- Wash and dry your hands.
- Insert the test strip into the meter.
- Use the lancet to obtain a drop of blood from your fingertip.
