Diabetes Mellitus is a common condition in which there is a chronically raised blood glucose concentration. It is caused by an absolute or relative lack of the hormone insulin.

Blood glucose monitoring using a blood glucose meter such as the GlucoMen LX is the best way to stay in control of diabetes.
