Did you mean “blood pressure”, or a “blood glucometer” to test for blood sugar?

Our blood pressure machine is made by Omron, but I’m sure that Dischem will have one, or even Clicks.

If it’s to test your blood sugar, then Dischem have them. I have an ACCU-CHEK ACTIVE.

Take care 🤗🙏🇿🇦

Check with your pharmacist. He should know how to get one.

Since you have diabetes, it's important to focus on managing your blood sugar levels first. The search results don't contain information about blood pressure machines. Instead, consider exploring continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) or other blood sugar monitoring devices that can help you track your diabetes more effectively.

Some options include:
• Dexcom CGM systems
• FreeStyle Libre 3
• Accu-Chek Guide
• Traditional blood glucose meters Before choosing any diabetes monitoring device, consider:
• Cost and insurance coverage
• Comfort level with technology
• Whether you need a prescription
• Your lifestyle needs
• Your long-term diabetes care goals

It's recommended to discuss your monitoring needs with your healthcare provider who can help determine the best option for your specific situation.
