Diabetes Gym Gear

Other than your regular gym gear, a sweat towel and closed shoes isn’t quite going to cover the list of prerequisites for those afflicted with diabetes. Here’s a few handy gadgets to keep your blood glucose levels and insulin at bay, while getting your workout on:

Water bottle with pill case

Replace your regular squishy bottle with a combined pill organizer and water bottle. The pill container, which acts as an easily-removable screw-top, comes with seven built-in pill compartments. It measures 22 centimeters in height and 8 centimeters in width and is able to contain 600ml fluid.

Gluco(M) Wristband monitor

When you’re feeling the burn, there’s nothing worse than having to stop for a time consuming blood glucose reading – hence, the The Gluco(M) Wristband.

This device comes with three major functions: the ability to give an instant glucose reading, the storing of readings history with averages and a compact insulin chamber with loaded syringe cartridge. The Gluco(M) Wristband collects glucose samples from body fluids by using an electric current flowing throughout its sensors. It also comes with a backlit LED display and buttons for operating.
