Diabetes is a group of diseases marked by high levels of blood glucose, also called blood sugar, resulting from defects in insulin production, insulin action, or both. Diabetes can lead to serious complications and premature death. According to statistics 23.6 million citizens in the United States have diabetes. That equals 8 percent of the entire population. People with diabetes can take steps to control the disease and lower the risk of complications, and Ryan Pharmacy in Toledo can help.

At Ryan Pharmacy in Toledo we carry:

• Glucose Meters
• Test Strips
• Lancets & Lancet Devices
• Diabetics Shoppe
  

A glucose meter is a medical device for determining the approximate concentration of glucose in the blood. It is a key element of home blood glucose monitoring by people with diabetes mellitus or with proneness to hypoglycemia. A small drop of blood obtained by pricking the skin with a lancet is placed on a disposable test strip, which the meter reads and uses to calculate the blood glucose level. Ryan Pharmacy & Orthopedic Supply in Toledo has the right meter for you.

Chemical test strips are a medium cost method for monitoring blood glucose. A fairly large drop of blood, usually taken from the fingertip, is placed on a chemically prepared strip, called a blood glucose testing strip. The chemicals in the strip react with the blood, changing color according the concentration of glucose, which can then be read by comparing the color with a chart on the side of the test strip container. Get your chemical test strips and disposable glucose meter test strips from Ryan Pharmacy in Toledo.

A blood lancet is a small medical implement, similar to a scalpel but with a double-edged blade. Blood lancets are used to make punctures to obtain blood specimens, are generally disposable, and are used in the treatment of diabetes. They are also called lances.
