Some time ago, my parents seemed to be a little wrong, always saying that they were dizzy and thirsty, and often yelled that their legs were weak. I wondered if they had a blood sugar problem.
Blood sugar is the body's energy**. Just as a car needs gasoline to run, our bodies need blood sugar for energy. However, if the blood sugar is too high or too low, it can cause problems for the body. If it is too high, it may lead to diabetes and cardiovascular disease; If it's too low, it's easy to have symptoms such as dizziness and palpitation.
At my parents' age, my body began to decline, and my metabolism was not as good as when I was younger. In addition, they don't usually exercise much, and most of the foods they eat are high-sugar and high-fat foods, so the risk of high blood sugar is relatively large.
With the development of science and technology, it is not difficult to measure blood sugar now, it can be done in many places, and you can also use a home blood glucose meter at home. However, the blood glucose meter cannot be measured anytime and anywhere, and it hurts to have a needle every time.
In order to choose a more suitable watch for their parents, I tested the popular smart watches on the market with blood sugar measurement function, and the brands that were evaluated this time include Dai Lexing, Huawei, Du Neng, and OPPO.
1. The principle of non-invasive blood glucose measurement watch.
A blood glucose watch is a non-invasive, continuous blood glucose monitoring device whose principle is based on the principles of spectral absorption and transmission. When light passes through, glucose molecules in the blood absorb specific wavelengths of light, resulting in a decrease in light intensity. By measuring this change in light intensity, the concentration of glucose in the blood can be calculated, and the blood glucose value can be obtained.
Although the results of the blood glucose watch may not be as accurate as the blood test in the hospital, it is very helpful for us to monitor blood sugar fluctuations on a daily basis, and it is convenient, powerful, and suitable for use at home.
2. Send to parents, the selection of blood sugar watches.
As a child, when choosing a blood glucose watch for my elderly parents, I will pay special attention to the following functions and features, and the next evaluation and scoring will also focus on these few.
1. Accuracy.
The accuracy of blood glucose data is important because it reflects the health of the parents. If the data measured by the watch is too incorrect, then what is the point? Therefore, it is advisable to choose those blood glucose watches that have undergone professional medical certification, high professionalism, leading technology, and high accuracy.
2. Simple operation.
Parents are old and unfamiliar with electronics, and if the watch operation is too complicated, they may find it bothered.
Choose blood glucose watches with simple interfaces and simple operation, so they won't feel stressed to use them.
3. Endurance.
Parents may sometimes forget to charge their watches, and watches with poor battery life can be troublesome to use.
It has a long battery life and can better meet the needs of parents for daily use.
4. Data analysis function.
If you have powerful data analytics, you can generate a comprehensive health report based on your parents' blood glucose data and other health data (e.g., heart rate, sleep, etc.).
The report analyzes the parents' health status, lifestyle habits and possible health risks. Not only does this give parents a better understanding of their physical condition, but it also provides us with a reference on how to take better care of them.
5. Data synchronization and sharing function.
I want my parents' watch to sync their blood glucose data to my phone or other devices so I can keep track of their blood sugar status.
3. Top blood sugar watch rankings.
Starting from the real needs of parents, I made a ranking of the watches in this evaluation, and started with the top 1 Dai Lexing blood glucose watch.
Wear a watch.
Wear a watch.
High accuracy and professionalism. Professionally designed for blood sugar measurement, it has 11 national invention patents and 10 enterprise endorsements, and the quality is guaranteed. During the simultaneous evaluation, I asked my parents to use both the blood glucose meter and the blood glucose watch, and the accuracy of the Dai Lexing watch was great, and they were very relieved to use it.
Strong technology, support multi-spectral sensor detection, this technology is a leading function in the field of smart watches, and can also calculate TIR value to meet the rigid needs of blood glucose measurement.
Data analysis is powerful and easy to operate. When you use it for the first time, you need to calibrate it 7 times, after which you can test it anytime and anywhere, the data will be shared on your phone, and you can also build a database model for your parents.
