Tips for Buying Diabetes Supplies in Kenya

Diabetes is a chronic disease. If you don’t maintain your blood glucose under control, you could experience serious health issues. This is why it’s crucial to know how to purchase diabetic supplies in Kenya.

Living with the illness will be significantly easier if you learn to use a glucose monitor to check your blood sugar levels on a regular basis. You can self-manage diabetes with a little practice, just like you would any other aspect of your life. Your capacity to be active and pursue your interests will significantly improve once you do this.

Why is home blood glucose testing important?

Home blood sugar (glucose) testing is crucial for managing your diabetes and reducing your blood sugar level. You can get advice from your doctor on how frequently to monitor your blood sugar.

Every morning before eating, you should typically check your blood sugar. Additionally, it is a good idea to check it just before lunch, supper, and bed. A blood test one hour after eating may also be recommended by your doctor.

Blood glucose levels examined from the fingers will reveal significant changes more quickly than blood glucose levels checked from other places on the body. Blood sugar levels are typically checked using:

  • Pricking the fingertip with a lancing device (a small, sharp needle)
  • Inserting the test strip into the glucose meter
  • Putting a drop of blood on the test strip
  • Examining the blood sugar reading on the meter
  • Depending on the reading, you might adjust your insulin dosage.

You can prevent the harmful effects of exceptionally high spikes or dangerously low decreases in blood sugar by regularly checking it. Managing these spikes and decreases as soon as possible – when treatment is most effective – can save your life.

What supplies do I need for diabetes?

You’ll need to buy the following items depending on whether you have type 1 diabetes or type 2 diabetes:

  • An insulin meter
  • Test Strips
  • Lancets for blood sampling through your finger
  • Strips to test urine for ketone levels (for type 1 diabetes)
  • Glucose tablets

Where can I find supplies for diabetes?

You may get glucose meters, test strips, lancets, and other diabetic supplies at your neighborhood drugstore or on the internet. You can locate the best deals and save money by looking for diabetes supplies for sale.

Depending on the features and brand you choose, the cost of a glucose monitor can vary. Although test strips are expensive, you must have them to prevent issues. One or two daily checks can help you save money on test strips. But first, talk to your doctor about fewer frequent blood sugar tests.

Remember that there is currently no cure for diabetes. However, you can manage it by getting a blood glucose meter, test strips, and additional insulin supplies, including insulin syringes. You will need these supplies to monitor you diabetic on a daily basis. To stay healthy and prevent potentially fatal diabetic complications, you must incorporate diabetes care into your everyday routine.
