Questions we get asked
Which glucometer should I buy?
Pick one whose strips are easy to find and affordable, since you'll keep buying strips. Our guide Glucometers compared goes through the options.
Do strips fit every meter?
No. Each meter only works with its own brand and type of strip: check the name on the box.
What is a CGM sensor?
A continuous glucose monitor reads glucose through a small sensor worn on the arm, without a finger prick for each reading. Not sure which suits you? Ask a BMG pharmacist in any branch or on 800 2647.
