Glucometer & actual

2016-07-01 13:28:24
He is living with diabetes since past 7 years. His sugar level fluctuates very frequently. Once it gets controlled he stops medication and I am sure its not good for his health. He is using a glucometer (Dr. Morepen) at home and I am not sure How accurate is that. Which Glucose level meter is recommended and How to control the fluctuations.
