Accurate and dependable blood glucose monitoring is required for efficient control of diabetes. The OneTouch Select Plus Test 25 Strips are an efficient solution for people who want to keep track of their blood sugar levels.
These test strips, designed for use with the OneTouch Select Plus glucometer, allow users to acquire exact readings, resulting in better diabetes control.
How It Works: OneTouch Select Plus Test 25 Strip?
The OneTouch Select Plus Test 25 Strips work by measuring blood glucose levels using a simple but efficient method. The OneTouch Select Plus meter turns on automatically when a test strip is inserted into it.
After that, the user uses a lancing instrument to pierce their fingertip to draw a tiny sample of blood, which they then apply to the yellow target region on the strip.
The blood is drawn into the reaction zone of the strip by capillary action, where a chemical reaction takes place between the blood and the reagents on the strip.
