- Onetouch verio test strips are simple, no coding, and flexible to test with either side of the test strip, and it's easy to see when you've applied enough blood.
- One Touch Verio Test Strips are used with the One Touch Verio Blood Glucose Monitoring System to quantitatively measure glucose (sugar) in blood samples taken from the fingertips.
- The One Touch Blood Glucose Monitoring System is intended to be used by a single patient and should not be shared.
- The test strip automatically draws into the blood
- concrete strips
- Flexibility to test with either side of the test strip, and it's easy to tell when you've applied enough blood. Smallest sample volume ever at 0.4µL and fast yielding a side-fill test strip in just 5 seconds - perfect for bags and wings.
- Each strip is intended for single use. Accuracy you can always trust. Ideal for: Type 1 and 2 diabetics. Minimum blood sample needed: 0.5 mg/dl
How to measure your blood sugar level
- Wash and dry your hands well. Occasionally warming your finger can help increase blood flow.
- Insert the test strip into your meter.
- Use the needle to prick the tip of your finger.
- Gently press and/or massage your fingertip until a circular drop of blood forms at your fingertip.
- Align the test strip with the drop of blood and gently touch the strip to the edge of the drop of blood
- The meter will show your blood glucose level on the screen within seconds
- Remove the used tape from its edges, and use an alcohol swab to clean your finger
What is diabetes?
- It is a chronic disease and if you suffer from diabetes, it means either that you do not have enough insulin or that your insulin is not working properly, which leads to a high level of sugar in the blood
- Types of diabetes:
- Type 1, in which the pancreas does not produce any insulin at all.
- Type 2, in which the pancreas does not produce enough insulin, or insulin stops working properly.
- Gestational diabetes is a temporary condition in which a woman's insulin becomes less effective during pregnancy.
- Common symptoms of diabetes:
- Frequent urination.
- extreme thirst
- extreme hunger
- Tired.
- Lack of interest and loss of focus.
- Numbness of the hands and feet.
- Slow wound healing.
Normal levels of blood sugar level
- Random blood sugar test: A blood sample will be taken at a random time. No matter when you last ate, a blood sugar level of 200 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) or higher indicates diabetes. A blood sugar level less than 140 mg/dL is considered normal, and a reading between 140 and 199 mg/dL indicates the risk of developing diabetes.
- Fasting blood sugar test. A blood sample will be taken after an overnight fast. A fasting blood sugar level of less than 100 mg/dL is normal. A fasting blood sugar level of 100 to 125 mg/dL is considered prediabetes. If the rate is 126 mg/dL or higher on two separate tests, you may have diabetes.
- Oral glucose tolerance test: For this test, you fast overnight, and your fasting blood glucose level is measured. Then you drink a sugary liquid, and your blood sugar levels are tested periodically for the next two hours
