Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
The blood glucose test strip area consists of two thin sheets containing sensitive chemical components. Apply a drop of blood to the test area (the center of the yellow part) and place the strip flat for one minute, then rinse the blood. The chemical reaction that occurs when compared to the standard color chart produces varying degrees of color changes based on the amount of glucose in the blood. The glucose oxidase and peroxidase on the test strip react with glucose in the blood. The color indication and non-reactive components will appear in the test area. Through this test, our blood glucose level can be detected, and by comparing it with the standard color chart, we can determine our blood glucose range, whether it is high or low.
