diagnostic use) by people
with diabetes at home and by health care professionals in a clinical setting as an aid to monitoring the effectiveness of diabetes control.
It should not be used for the diagnosis of diabetes or for testing newborns.
Test principle
Glucose in the blood sample mixes with special chemicals in the test strip and a small electric current is produced. The strength of this
current changes with the amount of glucose in the blood sample. Your meter measures the current, calculates your blood glucose level,
displays the result, and stores it in its memory.
