The information below is generally applicable for most test strips, but refer to the information leaflet for specific advice on the test strips you use:When blood is placed onto the test strip, it reacts with a chemical called glucose oxidase producing gluconic acid from the glucose in the blood. At the other end of the test strip, the meter transfers a current to the test strip. The test strip has electric terminals which allow the meter to measure the current between the terminals. It is less accurate than using a blood glucose meter but the test strips can often be cheaper. Where can I get test strips? Depending on how you treat your diabetes then you might need to use a monitor and test strips to manage your diabetes. Here we’re going to take a look at what monitors and test strips are, and how you can get them. Blood glucose monitors The current between the terminals changes depending on the level of gluconic acid that has been produced. The blood glucose meter then uses an algorithm to work out the blood glucose level based upon the difference in current. Write the discard date (6 months after first opening the vial) on the vial label when you first open it. Discard the remaining test strips after the discard date.

What this means is that you don't need to insert strips into the meter because they come pre-installed. Instead of replacing a strip each time you use the meter there is a rotation of test strips in the meter, this is called a cassette. You can also buy a blood glucose meter from a pharmacy or online.
