ACCU-CHEK Active: CE-Certified Photometric Glucometer
Trusted clinical-grade blood glucose meter for Type 1, Type 2 diabetic patients, pre-diabetic individuals, and daily home glycaemic monitoring
The ACCU-CHEK Active is a CE-certified photometric blood glucose monitor (a diabetic machine using reflectance-based optical measurement technology) that delivers capillary blood glucose readings in approximately 5 seconds from a 1 to 2 microlitre finger-prick sample, one of the smallest sample volumes in its class. Unlike entry-level glucometers requiring manual strip calibration codes, the ACCU-CHEK Active uses no-coding technology (automatic strip batch recognition) to eliminate the most frequent source of blood sugar measurement error. A 96-segment LCD display (high-resolution digital readout screen) with pre-meal and post-meal markers (fasting and postprandial glucose flags) enables structured glycaemic pattern tracking across the day.
The 500-result memory with calculated averages (mean blood glucose data log) supports trend analysis over weeks, while a USB data port (PC-connectivity interface) allows direct transfer of reading history to a computer for physician review, HbA1c correlation, and long-term diabetes management recordkeeping.

Everything you need for safe, reliable movement
Unlike uncertified entry-level glucometers using basic electrochemical strip technology, the ACCU-CHEK Active uses CE-approved photometric endpoint measurement (optical light-reflectance glucose detection), a clinically validated method delivering more consistent accuracy across a wide 0.6 to 33.3 mmol/L blood glucose measurement range covering hypoglycaemia to severe hyperglycaemia.
Requiring only 1 to 2 microlitres of capillary blood (one of the smallest finger-prick volumes in home glucometers), the Active causes minimal fingertip trauma per test. For diabetic patients testing 3 to 5 times daily, this small-volume requirement meaningfully reduces cumulative lancet-site soreness and testing reluctance over time.
The under-dose detection system (insufficient blood sample alert) gives users a 10-second re-dosing window to add more blood to the same test strip without wasting it. This feature, absent in basic glucometers, reduces test strip consumption and cost for patients who frequently obtain borderline sample volumes from cold or dehydrated fingertips.
The built-in USB connectivity port (PC data-transfer interface) allows patients to export their complete 500-reading glucose history directly to a computer, enabling physicians and diabetologists to review structured glucose logs, perform HbA1c correlation analysis, and adjust insulin or medication dosing based on accurate long-term glycaemic pattern data.
A 500-result internal data log with automatically calculated mean blood glucose averages (on-device statistical summary) stores weeks of pre-meal and post-meal readings without manual record-keeping. This is significantly more storage than basic 50 to 100-result glucometers, supporting complete long-term glycaemic trend analysis without losing historical data between clinic appointments.
A single CR 2032 lithium coin cell battery (a widely available, low-cost button cell) powers up to 1,000 tests or one full year of operation before replacement, making the ACCU-CHEK Active one of the most battery-efficient home glucometers available, minimising ongoing maintenance cost and battery replacement frequency for daily diabetic monitoring users.
Real experiences from verified buyers across Bangladesh
Extremely fast and reliable oxygen refill service in Dhaka! The team was very prompt, professional, and delivered the refilled cylinder right on time during an emergency. Highly recommended!
Excellent quality, delivered same day! I ordered this cylinder for my father who was recovering from pneumonia. Care Plus delivered it within 2 hours of calling. The full set was well-packed and the cylinder was fully filled. Highly recommended!
Excellent Product. Compared prices at many places and Care Plus gave the best price with free delivery. The oxygen cylinder set is complete. My mother has been using it for 2 months now without any issue.
