What is type zero?

Type Zero refers to the first-generation blood glucose meters or glucometers used in diabetes management. These meters were developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s and used a colorimetric test strip to provide a visual reading of blood glucose levels. However, they were not very accurate, and readings were often affected by factors such as temperature and humidity. Type Zero technology has since evolved, and newer glucometers use advanced technology, such as electrochemistry, to provide more precise and reliable results. Understanding blood glucose levels is essential for managing diabetes, and Type Zero technology has made it easier for people living with this condition to monitor their blood sugar levels accurately and make appropriate lifestyle choices accordingly.
