The blood glucose meter is already a very large and very mature market, but recently there have been many smart blood glucose meters under the tide of mobile Internet entrepreneurship. What are the differences between these so-called "smart" products compared to traditional products? Can they help sugar friends manage diabetes better?
Design, pay more attention to user experience
Almost all smart blood glucose meters emphasize that their own product designs have a better user experience than traditional ones. For example, the sugar nurse, the product of the Sannuo investment company is designed to be very vivid, without screens and buttons and very small; and Tencent's sugar doctor looks like a big-screen smartphone, which is usually used with traditional products. The black and white screen is also very different.
These different designs are related to the thinking of Internet vendors and the function of smart blood glucose meters:
1. Mobile Internet entrepreneurs pay more attention to user experience. Sugar Nurse's product design takes into account the fear of many users on the needle, so I want to ease this mood with a more fashionable appearance and bright colors;
2, there are screens and no screen. The intelligent blood glucose meter has an app, the data is not stored on the blood glucose meter, so the sugar nurse can do the screenless design, while the sugar doctor uses the "big screen mobile phone" with its own system to transfer the functions that the app can achieve to the blood sugar. On the instrument.
Blood glucose measurement is not more accurate
Whether the blood glucose meter is smart or not, the most important thing is to measure the user's blood sugar level. In this case, it has no advantage over the traditional blood glucose meter. Li Chengzhi said that the accuracy of blood glucose measurement is mainly related to test paper, and the technology of test paper is very mature. This market is mainly monopolized by several major companies at home and abroad. Intelligence doesn't make blood glucose measurements more accurate, so just choose a certified manufacturer's products that are similar.
The real difference is in blood sugar management
The reason why the intelligent blood glucose meter is smart is that it makes better use of the collected measurement data, mainly for blood sugar management. After the traditional blood glucose meter is measured, the user will either finish it at a glance, or record it manually and show it to the doctor. The smart blood glucose meter automatically records the value and provides the analysis report to the user in real time.
The intelligence is mainly reflected in the software, such as the Sugar Tree's Tencare operating system, reminder testing and data sharing. Sugar nurses can also communicate online with doctors. In fact, there are a lot of apps dedicated to diabetes management without hardware, but letting users manually enter data from third-party hardware.
What is important is the change in lifestyle
For sugar friends, the most hope is to be able to control blood sugar, which is not so much related to your blood glucose meter, but rather to the personal self-control. Because controlling blood sugar requires changing your lifestyle, it is very difficult. Smart blood glucose meters try to help users in this matter, but they can only provide more convenience and guidance, so that you know what to eat when you control your diet.
price
Xiao Bian searched for "glucometers" and "smart blood glucose meters" on several home appliance websites, and found that the latter price is usually 100-150 yuan more expensive than the former. Of course, the blood glucose meter is not the most expensive. The real expensive is the future test strip consumption. The price offered by Tencent is 0.99 yuan per sheet, while the sugar nurse is 125 yuan. The price on the market is 1-5 yuan on average. When buying a blood glucose meter, you must consider the price of the test strip.
