A test strip as a tool for self-monitoring of blood glucose levels is a modern method that allows you to instantly determine the concentration of cholesterol in plasma based on a biochemical analysis, which does not require any complex manipulations or the use of additional equipment. The use of test strips allows patients to monitor their blood glucose levels in real time, thereby making treatment or keeping a food diary safer.
One such product is the Glucotrend test strips, developed by Hoffmann-La Roche. They are a thin plastic strip that contains reagents for testing the glucose in the sample. When the test strips come into contact with blood, chemical reactions occur, after which the glucose level is marked on the test strips, which can be easily read on the colored strip.
