If you are looking for the best, and nothing less, then your obvious choice should be One Touch glucometers. It is a product of an innovative company that started its business in the mid-1980s and is now part of one of the biggest corporations in healthcare – Johnson & Johnson. The entire field of blood glucose monitoring changed dramatically when LifeScan Inc. introduced OneTouch Technology. After five years of independent operation, LifeScan joined the Johnson and Johnson organization in November 1986. Since then, One Touch has maintained its position at the forefront of the industry and helped countless patients with diabetes to improve their quality of life.

Pointless to state that One Touch is available almost in any country. Also it is widely available in India. Its strips and other consumables are available either online or in chemist shops nearby. But perhaps what set apart One Touch is its accuracy, its ability to produce and reproduce accurate results years after years, which are comparable to the results of expensive diagnostic labs.

Accuracy test of One Touch

In one of the trials, One Touch glucometer was tested for most of the following standard parameters:

Repeatability– it is a test of using several machines to test the concentration of glucose in a prepared solution. All the glucometers being tested gave precisely the same results, thus proving that all glucometer made by the company work equally well.

Intermediate precision– it is the test to check the behavior of glucometer with time. This is by using a single glucometer to test the glucose solution of known concentration several times a day. And each time One Touch produced the perfect results. It shows that not only all devices are made well but also their quality remains excellent even on prolonged usage.

System accuracy– investigators have put the unit to most stringent tests, that is a comparison with the most expensive and precise glucose analyzer.  Again, researchers found that it performed with accuracy higher than 95%.

Testing clinically– checking of any product in real life condition is the most important way to say about its quality and accuracy. Needless to say, One Touch has undergone tens if not hundreds of real-life clinical trials.

Performance

Millions of satisfied users are the proof of quality for this brand. However, we also need to bring one fact to the reader’s attention, that comparing the performance of glucometer by self is not possible. Most labs would take the blood from the vein. And Calibration of glucometers are in a way to provide glucose level of capillary blood. Thus minor differences would always exist. These differences do not say that one method is superior to another. It merely means that each way has its limitations. However, manufacturers like Johnson & Johnson try to ensure that their devices always provide an accuracy of above 95%.
