Parkway Medical now offers the 24 hour blood glucose monitoring system. This quarter-sized sensor is worn on the abdomen for 5 days. During this 5 day time period it will painlessly and automatically measure your blood sugar every few minutes, 24 hours a day! After 5 days of gathering the data, the sensor will be removed and the information will be downloaded onto our computer providing a full color report. This report will be interpreted and given to your provider to discuss with you.

If you have Type 1 Diabetes or have Type 2 Diabetes and take insulin, ask your primary care provider to consider this valuable monitoring system as part of your overall diabetes management.

We are proud to say that Parkway Medical strives to provide our patients with the latest in medical services. We are pleased to add 24 hour blood glucose monitoring to our growing list of cutting edge technology.

Why are these important? People with heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, and a host of other conditions can now be painlessly screened for heart and vascular problems in order to reveal potential problems before they can cause significant or catastrophic events. Patients with signs and symptoms can be screened as well in order to rule out serious problems or catch them early.

Ask one of our providers about information relating to these easy and pain-free evaluations.
