What is a Generic Drug?
A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.
The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.
Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.

Product Details
Description
Embrace Blood Glucose Meter is a talking blood sugar valuable monitor for people with visual impairment. This glucometer is programmed to speak in both English and Spanish.
Most patients with diabetes should be testing their blood sugar based on directions from their healthcare team. The most common types are Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Type 1 is more common in younger patients and is caused by over-activity of the immune system. Type 2 is more common in older patients and is caused by insulin resistance.
Directions
Before using your meter for the first time, read the user manual carefully.
Set up your glucometer for the first time according to the user manual.
Your healthcare provider will instruct you to measure your blood sugar between 1-4 times per day. However, this number may be different for you.
Follow these instructions for blood sugar testing:
- Clean and wash the site to be tested. The site should be a fingertip, but not the thumb. An alcohol pad can also be used for this purpose.
- Insert a testing strip into the glucometer.
- Use a lancing device to pierce the skin of the fingertip. Poke on one of the sides and not directly on the fingertip. A small drop of blood should form.
- Touch the tip of the testing strip to the blood.
- The glucometer will play a melody for six seconds and display the test result.
Cautions
Always use your glucometer according to the appropriate user manual and your healthcare team's instructions.
If you are using a glucometer to adjust your treatment, you should always calibrate your meter regularly and test multiple times if you are unsure of the result.
If you get an error while testing, then consult the embrace blood glucose meter user guide.
