Living With Diabetes
Anyone living with diabetes knows how challenging it
can be. By becoming informed about diabetes, you
may be able to avoid many health-related complications through diet, exercise and by following the
treatment plan your physician prescribed for you.
Glucose meters and test strips
Choosing a blood glucose meter is a very personal decision.
So we’ve provided some useful information to help you
make an informed decision and choose the meter and
test strips that are appropriate for you — one that you will
find easy to use and will meet your personal needs.
Mayo Clinic Store offers a variety of meters from major
brands. We also provide a variety of test strips, lancing
devices, lancets, control solution, meter batteries and
insulin pumps, so you can get everything you need from
one reliable source. The best part is, Medicare or your
health insurance plan may cover the cost of these items.
Mayo Clinic Store can help determine if you are eligible.
Even better, we can help make managing your diabetes
easier, so you can have more time to focus on your life.
