Lucky asked:


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.

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?

No Insurance makes it rough to stay in supplies for much needed diabetic test strips and lacets for glucose meter. Dose any one know of a web site or program to help with diabetic free or very low cost supplies. Any help with this would be very much appreciated.

it has got something to do with the enzymes?
we actually put h202 on the gluc0se meter strip and saw some readings!

to what i know, the enzyme used in the glucose meter is glucose oxidase

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.
