Blood Glucose
Blood glucose monitoring plays an important role in diabetes control. A
long-term study showed that keeping blood glucose levels close to
normal can reduce the risk of diabetes complications by up to 60%*.
The results you get with the Advocate Duo™ TD-3223A/B system can help
you and your healthcare professional monitor and adjust your treat-
ment plan to gain better control of your diabetes.
