GlucoRx AiDEX™ FAQ's
https://www.glucorx.co.uk/aidex-compatibility
Your phone model may not have been tested by GlucoRx. See if you can successfully download the GlucoRx Aidex™ app on your smartphone before considering obtaining the CGM.
GlucoRx AiDEX™ is suitable for anyone over 14 years old who want to continuously monitor their glucose level (without fingerpricks), particularly patients with Type 1+2 diabetes and those concerned about their wellbeing, diet, fitness.
Please check your display shows a 24hr clock as opposed to 12hr.
35mm (L) x 21mm (W) x 9mm (H). This CGM is compact and comfortable to wear.
No; GlucoRx AiDEX™ is a Continuous Glucose Monitoring System and does not
require scanning because it automatically sends readings to your iOS/Android
smartphone (GlucoRx AiDEX™ app) via Bluetooth every 5 minutes.
The adhesive on GlucoRx AiDEX™ is made by 3M.
GlucoRx AidexTM kit is supplied with an overpatch to reinforce the adhesiveness if necessary.
Download the GlucoRx AidexTM app first and register before applying the transmitter and sensor.
A tiny flexible sensor filament is inserted beneath the skin in the interstitial fluid, worn on the abdomen (avoid applying within 5cm of any scar, insulin injection clog, sites close to belt or stretchmarks) or outside/back of the upper arm (avoid applying in muscle part of arm). Sensors inserted in muscle at the back of the arm may cause pain, bleeding. We recommend wearing on the abdomen, 3-10 cm away from the belly button, because of its thin subcutaneous fat – Take a deep breath and hold your belly firm before applying then relax to prevent misapplication.
The GlucoRx AiDEX™ sensor is applied to hair free skin using the applicator provided. Before application, use alcohol pads to disinfect your selected skin area and wait for a minute to let the skin dry. Hold the applicator firmly against your application site for 3 seconds for better adhesiveness. Use your fingers to smooth the edge of the adhesive pad. Then manually attach/click in the transmitter to the sensor base to allow the CGM to transfer readings by Bluetooth every 5 minutes to your iOS/Android smartphone (GlucoRx AiDEX™ app). Ensure all three transmitter hooks have been fixed on the sensor base and there are no big gaps between the transmitter and the sensor – you will hear 2 clicks if successfully assembled.
FYI there is no letter ‘O’ in the transmitter Serial Number; all ‘0’ are numerical zero.
In the unlikely event that your sensor has been inserted into your capillary blood veins, you may bleed. You should apply pressure to the bleeding site until bleeding stops. If the sensor glucose value is showing consistent errors compared to your fingertip glucose value, replace the sensor. If bleeding persists after applying pressure to the wound for a few minutes, remove the sensor. Use another site and try again. If you are taking medicines such as aspirin which resists blood coagulation, this will not help the matter.
Tips to prevent your adhesive pad falling:
- Disinfect the skin site with alcohol wipes and allow to dry before GlucoRx AiDEXM CGM application.
- Avoid applying shower gel or other chemicals on the adhesive pad (wash any chemicals off with water).
- Use an overpatch to reinforce the adhesiveness.
- Wear loose clothes to avoid them rubbing on the CGM.
- Avoid applying GlucoRx AiDEXTM on loose skin.
Your cannula may not have been inserted in interstitial fluid properly upon sensor application. If your GlucoRx AiDEXTM App keeps showing “Sensor in Stabilising” after warmup (from subcutaneous bleed), wait up to 4 hours. If the problem persists after 4 hours, replace your sensor.
Avoid touching the CGM or dislodging it with knocks/collisions. Avoid strenuous exercise or excess motion which could break the CGM during wear.
There is a battery in the GlucoRx AiDEXTM sensor (14-day wear), which powers the transmitter.
Assemble the paired transmitter to the sensor within 5 minutes after application. Ensure your transmitter is assembled to your sensor within 30 minutes after application, otherwise the sensor may be deemed an expired sensor and will be unable to collect glucose data. When you have successfully paired the transmitter, you need to wait for one hour for your sensor to warm up. You will see the real-time glucose readings (updated every 5 minutes) on the ‘Home’ screen of the GlucoRx AiDEXTM App after sensor warm-up has finished. If the notification ‘Sensor detected’ appears again, click ‘A used one’ to ensure glucose measurement’s accuracy and continuity.
The transmitter must only be paired to one smart phone at a time. If you wish to change phone, you will need to unpair first and then pair again. The readings will not come through properly if the device is paired to two phones simultaneously.
We have study data which supports the performance of the system has been established by its accuracy across all clinically relevant glucose ranges with respect to reference measurement.
Results from a study* by Linong Ji et al have shown GlucoRx AidexTM has a system accuracy of 98.69% (venous blood glucose) and overall MARD** of 9.08% when compared to venous blood reference.
* https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34378432/
**MARD = Mean Absolute Relative Difference; a measurement of on average how far away the sensor reading is from the Blood glucose reading. This is regardless of whether the reading is above or below the YSI value.
The GlucoRx AiDEX™ sensor lasts for 14 days. GlucoRx AiDEX™ transmitter is reusable and lasts up to 4 years.
When blood glucose level is steady, fingertip blood glucose (BG) and Sensor glucose (CGM) have negligible difference. When blood glucose level is rapidly changing (after-meal, after-insulin or exercises), BG and CGM usually have noticeable difference. The reason for this difference is because of the delay between sensor glucose change rate and current blood glucose change rate.
Your fingertip blood glucose may not have been measured correctly (eg. contaminated blood sample) and should be repeated. Rapid changing in blood glucose could lead to a slight delay in sensor glucose measurement. Also, sensor application site is under external forces and may lead to undermeasurement of blood glucose value. Only calibrate while your blood glucose level is steady. It is recommended not to calibrate within 24 hours after CGM application and just once each day.
You can only calibrate once in the first 6 hours after applying a new GlucoRx AiDEX™ sensor so it has a chance to settle in. Input blood glucose value immediately into app when the Trend line is stable (not rising or falling). It is recommended not to calibrate within 24 hours after CGM application and just once each day.
Please also ensure the GlucoRx AiDEX™ app is up-to-date and try the following: Go to Settings -> Profile – > Logout – then Log in again to hopefully fix the calibration issue.
The best time to calibrate GlucoRx AiDEX™ is first thing in the morning before any food or drink is consumed (fasting state from overnight).
GlucoRx Aidex™ app is integrated with GlucoRx Aidex™ Web Dashboard (https://grxaidex.com/auth/login) and GlucoRx Voyager (https://www.grxvoyager.com/), from which you can export results.
Log out of the GlucoRx AiDEX™ App on your smartphone and log in again – this should update data in Voyager.
The GlucoRx AiDEX™ app does not give audio feedback
Once you download the GlucoRx AiDEX™ app on an Apple phone and if this phone is integrated with an Apple watch, then the app will appear on the watch and you should be able to see the results on your phone. You will require your phone to be nearby.
Currently alerts and alarms are not possible but in the next release of the GlucoRx AiDEX™ App, a new Smart Alarm feature will be added with improved alarms and alerts sounds.

Have you verified your AiDEX™ email on time? – Could be in your junk folder or password issue (try to change password).
GlucoRx AiDEX™ has a water rating of IPX7, which means it is waterproof and can withstand incidental exposure to water of up to 1 metre for up to 30 minutes. Avoid applying shower gel on the CGM adhesive pad when showering. Use an overpatch to reinforce the adhesiveness if necessary. If moisture enters the gap between sensor and transmitter, detach the transmitter from the sensor to wipe and try again.
This CGM can be worn through airport scanners. To prevent signal loss when you put your smart phone in aeroplane mode, ensure you also enable Bluetooth.
GlucoRx AiDEXTM should be completely removed before any Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan or Computerised Tomography (CT) scan. The device is immune to mobile phone magnetic field.
Yes, but avoid direct contact with the sunbed.
GlucoRx Aidex™ Sensor packaging can be disposed of in general waste. The Applicator which contains the needle, once used, must be discarded in a biohazardous bag or sharps box. Once the GlucoRx Aidex™ sensor is worn and used, this should then be disposed in a biohazardous bag or sharps box. GlucoRx Aidex™ transmitter is reusable and can last up to 4 years.
We advise users to compare the specifications with that of the competitor.

GlucoRx Nexus FAQ's
This FAQ covers the GlucoRx Nexus TD-4277, Nexus mini TD-4287 & Nexus Voice TD-4280. For specific information on GlucoRx Nexus Blood Glucose Monitoring System, please see Owner’s manual.
When this low battery symbol warning is displayed on screen after about 500 readings, your meter is functional and the result remains accurate for about 50 more readings but you are advised to change the battery by 20-25 readings.
30 – 60% (glucose strips)
These machines are all non-coding.
The Nexus meters cannot automatically update Daylight saving time. They display 7-, 14-, 21-, 28-, 60- and 90-day averages which you can access from the meter memory; these may change when the date and time are changed.
You can change the settings by accessing the small “Set” button behind the battery panel at the back of your meter.
Results from the Nexus range are plasma calibrated from whole blood.
Replacing the batteries does not affect the test results stored in memory
The new Nexus meters do not have a memory deletion function. When the memory is full, the last result disappears with every new result that is added.
To reduce the chance of infection, never share a lancet or the lancing device with others. Always use a new, sterile lancet that is in date as they are disposable and intended for single use only.
Nexus strips – close the vial immediately after taking out a strip. Use each test strip immediately after taking it out of the vial. Do not use the test strips if they have expired (the expiry date printed on Nexus strips can be up to 18 months from Manufacture).
Control solution – 3 months from opening.
To avoid these diabetic products getting dirt, dust or other contaminants, wash and dry your hands thoroughly before use.
Meter exterior – wipe with a cloth moistened with tap water or a mild cleaning agent (not organic solvents), and then dry with a soft cloth.
Lancing device (this is reusable) – use a mild soap and water to clean the lancing device; do NOT rinse under water, use detergents or place in a dishwasher. Disinfect the AST cap before allowing to air dry.
Registered GlucoRx users are eligible for free/spare batteries, bottles of TaiDoc control solution, blood glucose monitoring diaries, PC link cables, AST caps, lancing devices, carry case, instruction manuals upon request through www.glucorx.co.uk/our-services/free-accessories, or by phoning GlucoRx Customer care on 01483 755133.
Feel free to request via GlucoRx Customer care by telephoning 01483 755133 or e-mailing orders@glucorx.co.uk.
GlucoRx is committed to ensuring that your meter(s) and testing requirements are fulfilled and covered by a lifetime warranty.
The system must NOT be used in either of these patient groups.
Registered GlucoRx users are eligible for free bottle of control solution upon request through this website, or phoning GlucoRx Customer care on 01483 755133.
Control solutions contain a known amount of glucose that reacts with the test strips. By comparing your control solution test results with the expected range printed on the test strip vial label, it is possible to check that the meter and the test strips are working together as a system and that you are performing the test correctly.
You should perform a single test at least once a week to routinely check your meter and test strips, particularly when you:
1. First get your Nexus meter / you want to practice running the test.
2. Drop the meter.
3. Begin using a new vial of test strips, or the strips are exposed to extreme environmental conditions.
4. Suspect that the meter or test strips are not working properly, your results are inaccurate or have blood glucose test results that are not consistent with how you feel.
The range is printed on the test strip pot – Level 2, in mmol/L.
If the result falls outside the specified range, see ‘Problems in Operation’ in your Owner’s manual and repeat the test. If you continue to get out-of-range results, it means your Nexus system may not be working properly. Do NOT test your blood in this case. Check the expiry of the control solution and test strips as well as the Nexus meter for any damage (if it has been dropped or immersed in liquid).
These are available on prescription from your GP surgery. Alternatively you can purchase from any pharmacy or directly from our website.
The latest ISO 15197:2013 specifies 95% of glucose results must be within ±15% of a reference standard (for results at or above 5.55mmol/L) and within ±0.83mmol/L (for results below 5.55mmol/L). 99.8% results from Nexus fulfil the minimum system accuracy requirements of this ISO standard.
Frequent testing of blood glucose levels allows people with diabetes to take control of their own health, particularly: understanding the effect of medical treatment on their blood glucose; making adjustments in their food intake when increasing physical activity; preventing acute complications such as hypo- and hyperglycemia; knowing when changes in insulin dosage or oral therapy may be needed.
The strips for the Nexus range utilise FAD-dependent glucose dehydrogenase (GDH-FAD) enzymes for blood glucose measurements. GDH-FAD technology, the most advanced enzyme system, avoids interference from blood oxygen variations and can be applied to capillary and venous blood samples. These GDH-FAD strips have no significant reactivity to any non-glucose sugars (i.e. maltose) at therapeutic or physiological levels.
You should always consult your Diabetes care team to determine a target range that works best for you. Normal blood glucose range for people with diabetes: Fasting and before meal – 4 to 7 mmol/L 3 hours after meals – less than 9 mmol/L. *Source Diabetes UK. Blood glucose target. Balance: No.234, 2010 April. P.69. For some people, such as children or those at risk of hypoglycaemia, the recommended guidelines may be broadened.
Ensure the blood sample completely fills the confirmation window of the test strip, check the test strips have not expired, do a control solution test and even repeat with strip from another pot/batch. Consult your diabetic nurse if results continue to be too high or low.
There are many factors affecting blood glucose monitoring and accuracy which GlucoRx educates its dispensing surgeries on, namely correct meter calibration, hand washing, blood sampling tech-nique/quality, meter and strip storage/usage (temperature, humidity), and certain medications taken by the user. Please find further details on https://www.glucorx.co.uk/diabetes/factors-affecting-accuracy/
Try adjusting the 6 depth settings on your GlucoRx Lancing device.
The Nexus systems enable testing on the palm, forearm and upper arm. Use the clear cap included in the kit when setting the lancing device. Only do AST in a pre-meal or fasting state (more than 2 hours since last meal); two hours or more after taking insulin; two hours or more after exercise.
n diabetics, the buildup of ketones (chemicals produced in the liver from the breakdown of fat) is a sign of very poor diabetes control. An excess of ketones can cause ketoacidosis. The Nexus TD-4277 and Nexus Voice TD-4280 machines display a ketone warning (not actual ketone reading) over 15mmol/L if they believe the user needs to get their ketone levels checked at the Doctors.
There are no rules about how often one should test as different people will have different regimes. Test as many times as it takes to feel confident about your blood glucose control, however, not everyone may be happy testing several times a day and some may not be prescribed enough test strips.
It is advisable to test either side of meals, once before eating and again after the meal to gauge how different meals affect your sugar levels. It is a good idea to test before and after sleep until you have a good idea of whether your sugar levels are rising, falling or stabilising overnight.
1. Install the GlucoRx Healthcare Management system on your PC using weblink: https://www..glucorx.co.uk/our-products/software/. This is compatible with Windows based programmes but not Apple Mac.
2. Connect one end of the interface cable (obtained from GlucoRx Customer care team) to a serial port on your PC, and the other end to the data port of the meter (should be switched off).
3. “PC” should appear on screen.
4. Follow the instructions provided in the software to transmit data.
5. Remove cable when done and your meter should automatically switch off.
If you have problems with this process, repeat the installation and also try downloading on another computer.
Self-testing of blood sugar at home gives your blood sugar level at the exact time of the test. The HbA1c test is done at your doctor’s office. It shows your average blood sugar over a sustained period of time, usually 90 days.

0 – 70% (glucose strips); 10 – 70% (ketone strips).
With this meter system, the glucose test is non-coding. A simple coding step is only required with the ketone test/strips.
Once the user receives their kit, the meter is already pre-coded and does not require coding to use the one ketone strip enclosed within. Every additional box of 10x GlucoRx HCT Ketone tests strips encloses a ketone code chip, which has to first be inserted in the meter when the user wants to test their ketones. The code displayed on the meter/phone screen from this code chip must match that printed on the foil packaging of the enclosed ketone strips, before ketone measurement can commence with a ketone test strip from that box.
Ketone coding needs to be performed thereafter with every code chip enclosed in successive boxes of ketone strips used.
The GlucoRx HCT & Ketone meter cannot automatically update Daylight saving time. It displays 7-, 14, 21-, 28-, 60- and 90-day averages which you can access from the meter memory; these may change when the date and time are changed.
You can change the settings by accessing the small “Set” button behind the battery panel at the back of your meter.
The blood glucose test strip can be used for the testing of newborns.
The β-ketone test strip must NOT be used for the testing of newborns.
When using both glucose and ketone strips, altitudes of up to 10,742 feet (3,275m) do not affect test results (this information is stated in the individual strip inserts).
Self-testing of blood sugar at home gives your blood sugar level at the exact time of the test. The HbA1c test is done at your doctor’s office. It shows your average blood sugar over a sustained period of time, usually 90 days.

The GlucoRx HCT system displays a ketone warning over 15mmol/L if it believes the user then needs to do a ketone test.
The GlucoRx HCT system enables AST with the ketone test only on fingertips/palm. Use the clear cap included in the kit when setting the lancing device. Only do AST in a pre-meal or fasting state (more than 2 hours since last meal); two hours or more after taking insulin; two hours or more after exercise.
Try adjusting the 6 depth settings on your GlucoRx Lancing device.
Select the puncture site either on your finger or other body parts (AST). Choose a different spot for each test as repeated puncture in the same areas may cause soreness and callouses. Clean the site with warm water and let it air-dry completely before pricking. Improve blood flow to the site by warming it and gently massaging. Press the lancing device firmly against your skin. Gently squeeze the punctured area, discard the first drop of blood and obtain at least 1.0µL of blood from the purer sample that emerges from underneath; do NOT smear it.
There are many factors affecting blood glucose monitoring and accuracy which GlucoRx educates its dispensing surgeries on, namely correct meter calibration, hand washing, blood sampling technique/quality, meter and strip expiry/storage/usage (temperature, humidity), and certain medications taken by the user.

The GlucoRx HCT system is suitable for patients on Peritoneal dialysis; – The Test strips for this machine uses GDH-FAD enzyme technology which has no reactivity to any non-glucose sugars such as Maltose (which is what icodextrin is converted to).
GDH-FAD technology, the most advanced enzyme system, avoids interference from blood oxygen variations and can be applied to capillary and venous blood samples. These GDH-FAD strips have no significant reactivity to any non-glucose sugars (i.e. maltose) at therapeutic or physiological levels.
GlucoRx HCT glucose test strips use advanced GDH-FAD enzyme technology with 2+2 (AC and DC) Bio Signal. AC signal works to provide the haematocrit result, and DC calculates glucose.
Device then corrects glucose level according to haematocrit value.
The latest ISO 15197:2013 specifies 95% of glucose results must be within ±15% of a reference standard (for results at or above 5.55mmol/L) and within ±0.83mmol/L (for results below 5.55mmol/L). 100% results from GlucoRx HCT & Ketone meter fulfil the system accuracy requirements of this ISO standard.
