Detailed Information

Reference Values

Blood glucose monitoring plays an important role in diabetes con-

trol. A long-term study showed that keeping blood glucose levels

close to normal can reduce the risk of diabetes complications by

up to 60%*1. The results provided by this system can help you and

your healthcare professional monitor and adjust your treatment plan

to gain better control of your diabetes.

*1: ADA Clinical Practice Recommendations 2003.

Please consult your doctor to determine a target range that

works best for you.

Blood Pressure

Clinical studies show that the diabetes in adult is often accompa-

nied by elevated blood pressure. People with diabetes can reduce

their heart risk by managing their blood pressure along with dia-

betes treatment*2. Knowing your blood pressure patterns can help

determine whether or not your body is in good condition. Human

blood pressure naturally increases after reaching middle age. This

symptom is a result of continuous aging of the blood vessel.

Other causes include obesity, lack of exercise, and cholesterol

(LDL) adhering to the blood vessels. Rising blood pressure accel-

erates hardening of the arteries, making the body becomes more

susceptible to apoplexy and coronary infarction. The WHO (World

Health Organization) published the following guidelines for blood

pressure range:
