Description

Overview of the medicine

The Exactive EQ Impulse Glucometer is a compact and user-friendly medical device designed for self-monitoring of blood glucose levels. It provides quick and accurate readings to help individuals with diabetes manage their condition effectively.

Uses & Indications

For self-monitoring of blood glucose by people with diabetes mellitus.

To aid in effective management of diabetes under medical supervision.

Dosage

Adults

As per physician's advice or need for self-monitoring (e.g., before meals, after meals, at bedtime).

Elderly

No specific adjustment needed for elderly; follow standard usage guidelines.

Renal_impairment

No specific adjustment needed for renal impairment; follow standard usage guidelines.

How to Take

Clean and dry hands. Insert a fresh test strip into the meter. Prick fingertip with a lancing device to get a blood drop. Apply blood sample to the test strip. Wait for the result to display on the meter.

Mechanism of Action

This glucometer utilizes an electrochemical biosensor technology. A small blood sample applied to a test strip reacts with enzymes on the strip, generating an electrical current proportional to the glucose concentration. The meter measures this current and displays the corresponding blood glucose level.

Doctor Notes

Educate patients on proper glucometer technique and hygiene.
Emphasize that glucometer readings are for monitoring and not solely for diagnosis without further clinical confirmation.
Advise patients on when to contact a healthcare provider based on their readings (e.g., persistent high or low readings).
Regularly review patient's logbook or meter data to assess glycemic control.

Patient Guidelines

Always read the user manual carefully before first use.
Ensure hands are clean and dry before testing.
Use only Exactive EQ Impulse test strips with the meter.
Check expiry date on test strip vial; discard expired strips.
Store test strips in their original vial and keep it tightly closed.
Do not reuse lancets or test strips.
Report any device malfunctions or unusual readings to your healthcare provider.

Missed Dose Advice

If a scheduled blood glucose test is missed, take a reading when remembered or at the next scheduled time. Do not attempt to 'catch up' by taking multiple readings consecutively without medical reason.

Driving Precautions

Individuals with diabetes who drive should monitor their blood glucose regularly, especially before driving, to ensure levels are within a safe range and to prevent episodes of hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia that could impair driving ability.

Lifestyle Advice

Regularly monitor blood glucose as advised by your doctor.
Maintain a balanced diet and regular physical activity.
Understand the meaning of your blood glucose readings and how they relate to your diet, exercise, and medication.
Consult your doctor or dietitian for personalized diabetes management plans.
