This Low Blood Sugar Wrist Worn Alarm – Hypoglycaemia Monitor can detect the symptoms of hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar in diabetics). It is a self-contained mobility aid that incorporates two sensors located on the rear of the product, which is designed similar to a wrist watch.
The sensors, when in contact with the skin of the wrist, or ankle, respond to perspiration and body temperature (cold sweats) which are two common symptoms of low blood sugar. If a cold sweat is detected, a built-in vibrator operates along with a tone beeper alarm.
The persistent vibration from the alarm is sufficient to disturb most users from sleep, enabling a blood test and remedial action to be taken quickly. This alarm is for use when sleeping – it is not intended to be used as a day time alarm.
When used in accordance with the instruction guide, the Low Blood Sugar Wrist Worn Alarm – Hypoglycaemia Monitor can detect early symptoms of hypoglycaemia and thereby helps to reduce the likelihood of more serious health complications.
The mobility aid has a comfortable adjustable elastic strap that exerts sufficient pressure to hold the sensors firmly against the skin. The outer case is manufactured from ABS material that is durable and long lasting.
The only ongoing maintenance required is to replace the lithium 3V battery – which is likely to be required a couple of times a year. There is a low battery warning tone to advise of battery replacement requirement.
The operation of the alarm is very simple and it provides confirmation beeps for button operation, so is also usable by those who may be slightly visually impaired.
By keeping a record of night-time alarms, the data can be used in conjunction with the user's GP, to adjust insulin, as and when required.
Certified in accordance with the medical directive 93/42/EEC, the Low Blood Sugar Wrist Worn Alarm – Hypoglycaemia Monitor has been successful with 79% of our customers. It will not suit everyone all of the time.
If you know that proceeding/during a hypo, perspiration levels increase and you become clammy and cold, then this will most likely work very well for you.
The alarm is lightweight, only weighing 0.01 kg (17 g).
