Canada

The Public Health Agency of Canada’s most recent report on diabetes in Canada notes that almost 2.4 million Canadian were living with diabetes in 2008/2009. (ref.2) The history of diabetes and treatment in Canada is also important to note, as it was Dr. Frederick Banting who, working as a medical practitioner in London, Ontario, first conceived the idea of extracting insulin from a pancreas to treat diabetes. After several months of experimentation with support from Charles Best, insulin was eventually purified for human use. Bayer Inc. is a Canadian subsidiary of Bayer AG and the corporate headquarters for the Canadian operations. In Canada, Bayer operates its healthcare business from its headquarters in Toronto, Ontario and Bayer CropScience Inc. operates out of its head office in Calgary, Alberta. Together with its MaterialScience business, Bayer “seeks to improve the quality of life for Canadians through products that fight disease, protect crops and animals, provide high-performance materials for numerous daily life uses.” (From Acquisition Worksheet, Ref. 1)

Function

Original box for a blood glucose meter.

Technical

This glucometer uses an electrochemical method. Test strips contain a capillary that suck up a reproducible amount of blood. The glucose in the blood reacts with an enzyme electrode containing glucose oxidase (or dehydrogenase). The enzyme is reoxidized with an excess of a mediator reagent and the mediator in turn is re-oxidized by a reaction at the electrode, which generates an electrical current. The total charge passing through the electrode is proportional to the amount of glucose in the blood that has reacted with the enzyme. This proportional reaction is what allows the glucometer to provide a glucose reading. (From Acquisition Worksheet, Ref. 1)
