Home > DGMS > 9. Why are blood sugar meter and DGMS?like a photograph and video?
Like a photograph, the blood sugar meter or Glucose Analyzer captures the moment. Even if there are seven sections of blood measurement, it can only depend upon several limited ‘moments’ to infer the type and the degree of a patient’s sugar metabolism disorder; also like a photograph, it captures only a small part of the larger context. To adjust a treatment plan according to this limited picture would be like making a judgment about the entire life history of a family when you’ve only seen one picture. Like a video, however, DGMS® moves with time over a whole landscape. The glucose activity in the body is that landscape and the time is its 72 hour monitoring period. This panoramic and long term view provides the doctor with a thorough knowledge of the change in the patient’s glucose. |
