Test strips
Gluco One BG 03 Blood Glucose Test Strip is a reliable and convenient self-testing method with a blood glucose monitor to measure the concentration of glucose in the blood. It is a single-use test strip that helps to provide quick and reliable results in the comfort of your place. It can be used for both professional (at clinics) and personal (at home) use.
To use the test strip, wash hands with soap and water, pat dry with a towel, clean the finger with an alcohol swab, prick the side of the fingertip, wait for blood to ooze out, wipe off the first drop, and put a drop or two onto the designated place on a test strip attached to the glucometer.
The test strip contains an enzyme glucose oxidase, which reacts with glucose in the blood and sends the result as an electronic signal displayed on the monitor.
Store in a cool and dry place, away from sunlight Keep out of reach of children Each strip is for single use only Dispose of the used strips properly Check the test strips before use carefully for better results Always check the expiry date on the test strips and lancets before buying Wash your hands thoroughly with an antiseptic hand wash before the test
No. All the blood glucose test strips are for single use only. Do not reuse a test strip, as it may not provide the appropriate results.
It is well known that testing blood glucose levels with a glucometer at home is one of the best ways to regulate blood sugar levels. It can help to test blood glucose at any time of the day and anywhere. Using a portable glucometer is the best way to test glucose when travelling. Charting blood glucose levels becomes easy with glucometers, especially with devices with memory options to store previous readings. By helping to check blood glucose, blood glucose monitors can help manage blood glucose levels.
According to the American Diabetes Association, the fasting or preprandial blood glucose levels for diabetics should be between 80 – 130 mg/dl, and postprandial (1-2 hours after meals) should be less than 180 mg/dl. However, the range mentioned in the glucose monitor may be a little different. So, speak to the doctor to calibrate the results with the lab reports.
Diabetes devices or glucometers test the amount of glucose in the blood. The test strips in glucometers contain an enzyme glucose oxidase, which reacts with glucose in the blood and sends the result as an electronic signal displayed on the monitor.
In the case of type 1 diabetes, check the blood glucose levels several times a day, such as pre and post-meals and before and after exercise or as advised by the doctor. Whereas, in the case of type 2 diabetes, monitoring the sugar levels might be based on the severity of the condition, which can be several times a day, once a day, or thrice a week. Hence, talk to the doctor about how often blood glucose levels should be tested.
