My Dario

If you use a smartphone, you can leave your glucometer at home.  The DARIO glucometer is a plugin blood glucose monitor which is used  in the same manner as a conventional glucometer.  Unfortunately it requires that"ouch" finger prick.


When combined with the app it will read out your blood glucose.  The DARIO is FDA approved . Users seem to find it a refreshing change to the daily monotony of finger sticks.  Since most of us carry a smartphone,you can ditch the glucometer..

To add an additional safety level, the Dario system is built with an emergency hypo alert feature. Once enabled on your smartphone, Dario will send a text message to up to four people with your blood glucose level plus a link to where you are using your smartphone’s GPS coordinates.  Hypoglycemia can result in loss of conciousness leaving a person disabled, and in a coma.

The DARIO software also provides a calorie counting tool. It comes with it's own ecosystem of accessories and the option to subscribe for disposable lancets and strips.
