Betachek G5 –‘the world’s fastest and most accurate diabetes test’ wins design award of the year
The Betachek G5 was recognized for its innovative design and technology by receiving the Design Award of the Year. The ADA committee stated the “streamlined form and brilliant software-electronics capability provide the worlds fastest and most accurate diabetes testâ€.
The G5 meter is the only meter to record results permanently onto memory cards. This means results are never erased. This meter reads results in just 5 seconds and comes with free management software for graphing results on a PC. All results are recorded permanently on a memory card which is also supplied free with each pack of test strips. There is a scheme in place through www.ambemedical.com called the free meter scheme of which when you buy 5 packs of strips at just £14.99 each £74.95 in total (approx five months supply) then the top of the range G5 streamlined look meter is supplied completely free of charge (otherwise £29.99).
Â
On May 1, 2009, one manufacturer reduced the price of their test strip to the NHS, by approximately 50% (distributed in the UK by Ambe Medical Group). This should allow the NHS to save money on strips and perhaps loosen the restrictions on supply a little, but there is one catch – the test strip (Glucoflex-R) is read by eye, not by meter. Critics argue this is not as accurate or convenient as meter testing. The manufacturer cites studies that show the product is just as effective despite not giving an answer to one decimal place, something they argue is unnecessary for control of blood sugar. This debate has already happened in Germany where Glucoflex-R is an established strip for type 2 diabetes (test strips are not subsidized by the German government for people with Type 2 Diabetes). As a footnote, another low cost visually read strip is soon to be available on prescription according to sources at the NHS. How the other manufactures and the NHS react to these developments, remains to be seen.
