Elite Glucose Monitor

American Diabetic Supply carries the Ascensia Elite blood glucose testing system. This testing meter is made by Bayer. Most Bayer diabetic products can now be found under the name "Ascensia." Bayer is making great strides to accommodate the needs of diabetics. The Ascensia testing supplies are a testament to the strides being made in blood glucose testing supplies.

The great thing about Ascensia glucose monitors is they allow you to test your blood in multiple areas. If you want to give your fingers a break, you should consider this product. The Ascensia works well for children, and individuals who may suffer from arthritis in the hands.

The Ascensia Elite has a unique feature which is not found in most other blood glucose monitors. The test strips are made so they draw the blood into the test strip, much like a straw. This means you simply have to place the test strip on the edge of the droplet of blood, and the test strip sips it up. This feature takes a lot of the error and anxiety out of blood glucose testing.

Ascensia Elite XL is fairly easy to operate. The meter comes on automatically when a test strip is inserted. This meter holds up to 100 readings, and can give you 14- and 30-day blood glucose averages. The makers of the Ascensia Elite XL will even send you a video about the monitor upon request.
