According to statistics, the number of diabetic patients in China is as high as 114 million, but only 25% of diabetic patients reach the standard of blood sugar. Data shows that adhering to reasonable blood glucose monitoring can increase the rate of blood glucose reaching the standard by 54.2%. However, in fact, the prevalence of blood glucose meters for domestic diabetic patients is less than 5%. The number of tests is only 7 times/month. In addition to the fact that the blood glucose meter and blood glucose test strip are not covered by the current medical insurance, the traditional blood glucose meter on the market has a single function and poor user experience, which can not meet the needs of sugar friends (especially the elderly).

In order to better solve this problem, the Sugar Nurse Apricot intelligent blood glucose meter (set) came into being. It is an intelligent hardware product created with Internet thinking. Compared with the traditional blood glucose meter, it is more compact in appearance design and more powerful in function. It can not only measure and record blood glucose, but also automatically synchronize and permanently save the measured blood glucose data, It can be used to analyze and share data with mobile APP, and can also provide remote reminders. What is more valuable is that it can be used to measure blood glucose. The operation is very simple and easy, which greatly reduces the learning cost of the elderly. Many elderly people who are afraid of electronic products can also easily measure blood glucose at home.

▲ The sugar nurse Xing intelligent blood glucose meter set received by the author includes one sugar nurse intelligent blood glucose meter, one "apricot", ten test strips and ten blood needles. Now let's introduce the sugar nurse's blood glucose meter.

▲ The outer package of the sugar nurse's blood glucose meter is standard, and the front side is very simple. In addition to the product logo and the information of the manufacturer in the lower right corner, a large area of blank space is left, while the back side has a large amount of information, including the introduction and use of the product.

▲ When opening the box, the first thing you can see is the reminder card of the precautions for the use of the blood glucose meter. When you open the card, you can see the products, including a blood glucose meter, a blood sampling pen and ten blood glucose test strips (in the white box below). They are placed neatly.

▲ The family photo is presented, and the blood glucose meter is packaged separately in a transparent plastic box, which makes you feel very small and delicate at first. In addition to the products described above, it also includes operation instructions, certificates and instructions. Now let's introduce the blood glucose meter.

▲ The compactness of the sugar nurse's mobile blood glucose meter is really beyond my expectation. It is inserted into the headphone jack of the mobile phone through a 3.5mm standard headphone head, and then cooperated with the sugar nurse APP on the mobile phone to achieve the measurement and data management of the blood glucose meter. The rectangular flat hole in the middle of the upper part is the place to insert the blood glucose test strip. Of course, the blood glucose meter can be used together with the "apricot", which can not only display the bleeding sugar value visually through the screen above the "apricot", but also upload data to the cloud through the "apricot", greatly facilitating the elderly who are not very good at operating smart phones.

▲ The above figure is the blood taking pen that comes with the blood taking needle to achieve the blood taking function. The design is reasonable, the use is very simple, and more importantly, through practical experience, I found that blood taking with this pen is not as painful as blood taking in the hospital, which is really good news for people who are afraid of pain.

Next, we will introduce the supporting product "Apricot" of the package. The function of "Apricot" is to display, record and upload the data of the blood glucose meter. The goal is to make it easy for many elderly people to use. Young people can also pay enough attention to the elderly's blood sugar health by managing the data uploaded to the cloud at any time.

▲ In addition to "Apricot", the package box also includes the supporting power adapter, USB data cable, and the introduction guide, instructions, and San Bao certificate. It can be seen from the above figure that the shape of "apricot" is very unique. Let's take a look at the "apricot" through pictures.

▲ There is a display screen in the middle black area on the front of the "apricot" (it is not obvious when the machine is turned off); There is a speaker hole on the back (which can realize voice broadcast and reminder), and there are two function keys at the top and bottom of the side, a total of four keys, the actual feel is hard; The upper part is the 3.5mm headphone hole and USB interface inserted into the blood glucose meter.

The above is the unpacking introduction of the whole set of sugar nurse apricot intelligent blood glucose meter. Through the organic cooperation of each product, the functions of blood glucose measurement, data storage, upload, analysis and so on can be realized. If it is combined with the mobile phone APP, more practical functions such as real-time reminding, intelligent supervision and so on can be realized.

Next, we will introduce the usage and functions of the sugar nurse's blood glucose meter through practical operation.

By reading the instructions of the sugar nurse's blood glucose meter apricot set (each manual is really much more informative), we can simply summarize the whole process of measuring blood glucose as follows:

1. Preparation of blood glucose meter: Insert the sugar nurse's blood glucose meter into the "apricot", and then long press the "apricot" right switch key for three seconds to start "apricot", and finally insert the socket end of the test strip into the blood glucose meter (note that the side with the arrow on the test strip should be consistent with the front of the blood glucose meter). At this time, the prompt "Please inhale blood sample" will be displayed on the top of the "apricot" screen.

2. Preparation of blood sampling pen end: Screw the thread of the adjusting sleeve of the blood extraction pen, insert the blood collection needle into the pen holder, and then screw off the protective cap of the blood collection needle (the protective cap should not be thrown away, it is useful later). After tightening the adjusting cap, adjust the number ring according to the skin condition of the patient's fingers (the larger the number, the deeper the binding), and finally pull the pen barrel to the bottom (at this time, the transparent button on the pen will protrude).

3. Blood sampling and measurement: Before blood sampling, the blood sampling part should be sterilized (Use medical alcohol instead of iodine containing disinfectant) Then press the ejection button of the blood pen to take blood, squeeze out the blood sample and contact the siphon mouth at the top of the test strip. Ten seconds after inhaling the blood sample, the test results will be displayed on the "apricot" screen, and the measured blood glucose data will be automatically uploaded to the cloud.

4. Waste disposal: Pull out the test strip manually, insert the blood sampling needle into the protective cap, and then treat it as medical waste.

Through the above demonstration of the actual operation process, we should have an intuitive understanding of the whole process of sugar nurses' blood glucose measurement. The author felt that it was very simple and convenient to use the sugar nurses' blood glucose meter kit to measure blood glucose. The elderly at home (over 60 years old) soon learned and can operate independently.

Of course, we can also connect the sugar nurse's mobile blood glucose meter directly to the mobile phone and open the matching APP without "apricot", which is also very convenient for blood glucose measurement. From this, we also understand that the main function of "apricot" is to display and upload the measured blood glucose value, so that the elderly who do not use smart phones can easily measure blood glucose.

Someone may have such a question: How does "Apricot" upload the measured blood glucose data? In fact, "Apricot" has a built-in SIM card to upload data through the mobile network. Of course, "Apricot" itself can save up to 200 blood sugar data. Click the left and right buttons of "Apricot" to view historical data.

As an intelligent blood glucose meter, its powerful data recording and analysis functions are one of the key functions of the sugar nurse's intelligent blood glucose meter. This is also beyond the reach of other traditional blood glucose meters with single functions. The data you get from each blood glucose measurement will be uploaded to the cloud, and the handheld APP will automatically generate a phase blood glucose report for you, The sugar control scheme will be customized for you according to your data. You can even seek medical advice directly on this platform, and professional doctors will answer your questions.

There are two ways to upload data to the cloud: the first is to bind apricot to the mobile phone APP, and before each blood glucose measurement, insert the sugar nurse's blood glucose meter into apricot for measurement, and apricot will automatically upload its blood glucose value to the cloud while displaying it on the screen. This method is suitable for the elderly who are not very good at using smart phones. After data is uploaded to the cloud, children can view it through the mobile APP at any time to monitor their parents' blood glucose data in real time to avoid accidents.

The second method is more convenient, which can be operated directly without apricot. That is, insert the sugar nurse blood glucose meter into the headset jack of the smart phone and use it together with the mobile phone APP. The measured data will be displayed directly on the APP and uploaded to the cloud. This method is suitable for users who have some knowledge of smart phones.

These two methods are actually very simple to operate, and users can choose freely according to their own conditions. After the data is uploaded to the cloud, the mobile APP will automatically record, analyze, and present it to you in a variety of ways. If we persist in long-term measurement records and form our own big data, it should have high reference value in diagnosis and treatment.

In addition, because apricot itself also has a pedometer function, the elderly can use it as a pedometer at ordinary times, and these data will be automatically uploaded to the cloud and reflected through the mobile app. At the same time, the mobile app will also analyze their body conditions according to the user's data records, and customize special healthy recipes for them.

Through my practical experience, the author was deeply impressed by the simplicity and powerful functions of the sugar nurse's intelligent blood glucose meter. Since then, it is no longer an unreachable dream to easily measure blood glucose at home. Even the elderly who are not very fond of smart phones can easily operate it. In addition, the cloud data will never be lost Mobile APP automatically generates blood glucose report to achieve long-term tracking and management of blood glucose, which is difficult for traditional blood glucose meters to reach.

Looking at the moment, the global wave of intelligence is surging, and the intelligent revolution in the field of traditional medical devices has also quietly arrived. The emergence of the sugar nurse intelligent blood glucose meter is a positive signal, "a single spark can start a prairie fire". It is believed that in the near future, intelligent medical devices such as the sugar nurse blood glucose meter will surely fly into the homes of ordinary people, Bring more convenience to the health of ordinary people!
