Many people's impression of Johnson & Johnson is that Johnson & Johnson baby, Neutrogena and other care products, but in fact, Johnson & Johnson, who is over 130 years old, is the world's largest and most comprehensive multinational health care company, and it is the only company that participated in the drafting of the national standard for blood glucose meters. However, in recent years, the company's reputation has declined due to drug fines and lawsuits.
 
In the diabetes segment, Johnson & Johnson has three major businesses. Animas for insulin pumps, Calibra Medical for diabetes care, and LifeScan for blood glucose meters and blood glucose test strips, with a 35% market share. But as profits in the sector continued to decline, Johnson & Johnson sold LifeScan to US investment firm Platinum Equity in 2018, following the sale of Animas in 2017.
 
LifeScan's One Touch Blood Glucose Meter was born in 1987 and has since developed into different series such as Wenyue, Wenhao, and Wenze. The overall performance of the product in accuracy and ease of use is excellent, but the weight is slightly larger, the appearance is not small enough, the portability is average, in addition, the price of blood glucose test strips is 4.16-5.68 yuan/piece is also expensive.
 
The Wenyue series can be used by pregnant women, and the matching test strip adopts a three-layer parallel electrode structure, which can independently analyze the influence of different interfering substances, make up for the deviation caused by glucose dehydrogenase, and improve accuracy. The strong conductive film formed by gold-palladium alloy realizes 5s fast measurement, and the blood collection volume is only 0.4μL. The Zhiyou blood glucose meter under this series also has voice reminders, meal markings and other functions, which are convenient and easy to use, but it is priced at 649 yuan with 50 test strips, which is on the high side.
 
Wenhao blood glucose test strips use Doublesure technology to give more reproducible results and improve accuracy by comparing two independent blood glucose values produced at each measurement. At the same time, the design of the test strip that can be touched throughout the body also excludes the deviation caused by pollution, but the blood collection volume of 1μL is larger. Among them, Wenhao Beiyi blood glucose meter still continues to use the old manual code adjustment, the operation is more cumbersome, and it should be noted when buying that the price is 235 yuan.
 
In addition, the performance of the Wenxue series is also disappointing, only the latest data can be stored, it is inconvenient to analyze the trend of blood sugar changes, and the price is 179 yuan.
