Blood glucose is a key marker of metabolic and overall health. Measuring it at home gives you clear, timely insight into how your body responds — reliably, quickly, and without unnecessary complexity.
This overview helps you understand why glucose monitoring matters, what to look for in a glucose meter, and where to go next.
At Swiss Point of Care, we focus on glucose monitoring systems that are easy to use, medically reliable, and built on proven technology — without unnecessary complexity.
Blood glucose levels change throughout the day and are influenced by food, activity, stress, and health conditions. Measuring at home helps you to:
Home monitoring provides insight that a single lab test cannot.
Accurate glucose monitoring depends on three essentials:
Choosing the right system is critical — accuracy and reliability matter more than features.
Results should comply with international standards and remain stable over time.
Less blood means less discomfort and easier testing.
Clear display, simple steps, no unnecessary settings.
The long-term cost depends mainly on test strip pricing and availability — not the meter itself.
Test strips should be widely available across Europe.
Reliable results depend on how glucose is measured.
We recommend the Swiss Point of Care Glucose Meter, the latest generation of the proven On Call Extra system. It consistently meets the key criteria for reliable glucose monitoring.
Why we recommend it:
The difference between glucose meters lies in the enzyme used in the test strip.
The Swiss Point of Care Glucose Meter uses Glucose Oxidase (GOD)–based test strips.
Some glucose meters use GDH-PQQ, an enzyme that is not glucose-specific and may react with other sugars, which can lead to falsely elevated readings in certain situations.
Measuring glucose is straightforward:
The small blood volume makes regular testing easier and more comfortable.
