Jinan health supervision department issued a warning pharmacy free blood sugar to be vigilant

The Jinan City Health Supervision Office has recently conducted supervision and inspections of pharmacies in the area. It has found that some pharmacies use portable blood glucose detectors to measure blood sugar for customers free of charge. The Jinan Hygiene Supervision Office reminded that the use of such a portable blood glucose meter requires the skin of the subject to be punctured and blood collected. This is a medical practice and must be implemented in a medical institution. Blood glucose testing is performed in pharmacies or on the streets, which is either out of scope or unlicensed. Practice medicine.

With the continuous improvement of living standards, the number of people with diabetes is increasing, becoming the third most serious disease that threatens people's health. At present, there are 45 million diabetic patients in China, and each year still has an annual growth rate of 800,000 to 1 million. A considerable number of people have not been diagnosed with timely medical treatment and the incidence rate has not been ideally controlled.

Experts from the Health Supervision Institute of Jinan City reminded that the diagnosis of diabetes requires the clinician to make a comprehensive judgment based on the patient’s clinical performance and laboratory data. It is not a simple blood glucose meter that can be concluded. Some pharmacies and health products distribution stores carry out blood glucose tests without authorization, and there are major security risks.

Experts pointed out that the measurement of blood glucose must have strict operating procedures and specifications, and you must not take the result of free blood glucose measurement seriously. Otherwise, you can go astray and get tired. If you find a pharmacy or manufacturer who has free blood glucose, you can call the local health supervision department to report it.
