    What is a glucose test strip?

    These seemingly insignificant strips of plastic are the mainstay of blood glucose testing. These blood sugar test strips aid patients in monitoring and controlling their diabetes. Blood glucose test strips for diabetes are an important component of glucose meters: blood is placed on the strip and the meter provides a reading. Although not commonly used these days, there are also diabetic test strips that don’t require a glucose meter. Using this type of strip, blood is placed on the active part and then wiped off after a few seconds. The reagent will cause the glucometer testing strip to change color and the result will be matched on a color chart provided. These glucose test strips are cheaper but are less accurate.
