Introduction
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.
Directions for Use
To use the test strip, wash your hands with soap and water, pat dry them with a towel, and then prick the side of the fingertip with a clean lancet or needle. Wait for the blood to ooze out, wipe off the first drop, and then put a drop or two onto the designated place on a test strip attached to the glucometer. Hold a clean cotton pad or gauze on the prick site to stop blood flow, and apply pressure until the bleeding stops.
How it works
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.

Frequently asked questions
Can blood sugar strips be reused?
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.
What are the benefits of glucometers?
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.
What is a normal glucometer reading?
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.
How do blood glucose monitors work?
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.
How often blood glucose levels should be tested with a glucometer?
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.
