How is the enzyme, glucose oxidase, used in continuous glucose monitors different from test strip type meters?

Activity? Stability? Life? Quantity? Cost? Solid or liquid? Anything else?

glucose testing meters?
Filed Under Blood Glucose Strips | 6 Comments
i bought a one touch meter when i was first diagnosed and the strips are almost 60 dollars for 50. i have to pay out of pocket for all my testing stuff so that can become a bit pricy. i was at walmart and decided to try a accu-chek meter. the strips are only like 20 dollars for 50.
my question is, are the cheaper meters and cheaper strips ok to use? are generic brands ok? which brands should i not use? the more expensive ones seem to just have more fancy features and such and i really dont need that.
the accu-chek strips were like 21.99 at walmart.. i went and double checked my receipt.

How do Diastix work?
Filed Under Blood Glucose Strips | 2 Comments
I’m wondering how they work. I know they detect glucose concentrations but I don’t know how they do this. Is the strip oxydised/ reduced?
I’m wondering how they work (but not Keto-Diastix). I know they detect glucose concentrations but I don’t know how they do this. Is the strip oxydised/ reduced? And what cuses the colour change. What is the chemical used?

Does anyone know if the MediSense Xtra Glucose Meter and the MediSense Optium are the same Meter?
Filed Under Blood Glucose Strips | 2 Comments
I HAVE TEST STRIPS FOR THE OPTIUM METER BUT DON’T HAVE THE METER, AND THE MEDISENSE XTRA LOOKS JUST LIKE THE OPTIUM METER. JUST WONDERING IF ANYONE KNEW IF THE OPTIUM STRIPS WOULD WORK IN THE XTRA METER. IF YOU KNOW PLEASE ANSWER, OR IF ANYONE KNOWS WHERE I CAN PURCHASE AN OPTIUM METER, I’VE ALREADY CHECKED EBAY.

Does anyone know what the range is supposed to be for One Touch Ultra Control Solution?
Filed Under Blood Glucose Strips | 2 Comments
I have the One Touch Ultra glucose monitor, but I don’t know what the range is supposed to be when I put the solution on the test strip. I don’t have the booklet that comes with the box. Thanks.
