Here's an article on a health consumer use product called a "something" that measures blood glucose.

This is more overwhelming that hearing aids and electric mobility scooters and all the other health related gizmos out there.
There's this one on Amazon.com that the AI on Google came up with:

Here's a fancy one that advertises vacuum something and does things differently.
Very "Elon Musk" high tech bot gen 3 type tech. It's interesting. Pricey. But, that doesn't matter if it's tech and cool.

Non medical topic per forum guidelines, of course.
I'm fascinated by the tech and engineering of this, as a "geek/nerd", how can I not.
So, if there are med engineering chem guys/gals, tell my how these things work.
1
Maybe there's an app for my Smart Watch that will do this?
2
Of course, what my doctor suggests. But, I'm just curious and shopping right now. It's not a medical "need".
So, what did or do you use or used on mom or dad etc, and how much did it cost?
3
Do they all fundamentally do the same thing and the rest is just bells and whistles and iphone apps and all that?
4
Is there a "Toyota Camry" type that works all year round since WW2 like a Singer Sewing Machine, Dodge Dart with a vinyl roof and a straight six and 3 speed column shift that is easy to understand and use?
5
Anyone been down this road and been overwhelmed by the variation and products out there?
6
Price is not my concern nor is insurance coverage. I'm just curious about the products?
thanks everyone for your help.
j
Again, stick to discussion about products, what they do, how they do, what's the cost, why there are differences, etc.
non medical so the thread doesn't get locked and is no longer useful.
thanks.
fwiw: my son is a senior paramedic with his own company. he gave me a 12 lead ekg, like used on the rigs, I had it in my office for years taking everyone's "strip" and having them learn what it meant (my med background). for fun. But, eventually, my son took the unit back to use in one of the classrooms and installed an auto/shock standard unit in our pantry for emergencies. Oh well. it was fun. My older brother, Internist MD, used up a lot of strips as well. He doesn't have that type of unit in his office.
