Expected Test Results
Blood glucose monitoring plays an important role in diabetes control.
A long-term study showed that
keeping blood glucose levels close
to normal
can reduce the risk of diabetes complications by up
to 60%* . The results you get with the Gluco
Rx
TD-4230 system can
help you and your healthcare professional monitor and adjust your
treatment plan to gain better control of your diabetes.
