MANILA, Philippines - Another first from Bayer, the pioneer in diabetes care since 1941, is its first tablet test for glucose in urine, followed by the portable blood glucose meter and later, the personal blood glucose meter. Next was the Ascensia blood glucose meter with memory. And now comes the latest innovation: Contour TS Blood Glucose Monitoring System with its patented no coding technology, for better, simple, accurate testing to help eliminate miscoding errors when you monitor your blood sugar and thus, enable you to manage your life easier, wherever you are.
Recent studies reveal that five out 10 people with diabetes either experience errors or frequent inaccuracies in their blood sugar meter reading when not coded properly. These miscoded meters often present up to 43-percent margin of error. Thus, coding inaccuracies in one’s blood glucose meter may result in a significantly high dosage error — up to three units of insulin dose — and can have an adverse effect on the diabetic patient.
Bayer Contour TS takes the guesswork out of meter reading which may later be fatal. It is exclusively distributed by Fernando Medical Enterprises, Inc. (hotline 399-7389, or 727-1521) and available at selected Mercury drugstores and 360 Pharmacy.
