Dear Shri Gangadharan,
I am attaching a Note on the use of Dip stick in the Glucometer. The idea that the Chronicle should cover subjects of varied interest more especially concerning the pensioners provoked me to write on the above subject. I do hope that it will receive your patronage.
With kind regards
R.K. Viswanathan
India is Diabetes capital. Due to wrong side of living and sedentary habits there are many who suffer from diabetes and LIC pensioners are no exception.
HEALTHY ORGANIC FOOD AND GLUCMETER |
To monitor the blood glucose we use the Gluco meter with dip stick. Manufacturers of this dip stick have warned that they have found in Indian market counterfeit sticks and the users are taken for a ride. Use of these fake sticks besides giving distorted reading would cause irreparable damage to the health.
- What is the remedy then ? After buying the product go to the web site www.genuineonetouch.com to know whether the product is a genuine one. The genuine product numbers are mentioned in the container.
- Mind you
manufacturing fake drugs is a million dollar cottage industry happening under the
very nose of drug control authorities. It is for us to be vigilant and knowledgeable.
