-Main Ingredients & Their Benefits:
-Glucose Oxidase is an enzyme that is crucial for the chemical reaction that occurs when a blood sample is applied to the test strip. Glucose oxidase reacts specifically with glucose, producing gluconic acid and hydrogen peroxide as byproducts.
-Peroxidase is an enzyme that works alongside glucose oxidase to catalyze the oxidation of substances in the presence of hydrogen peroxide, which helps amplify the signal generated during the reaction.

-Always check the expiration date before use; expired strips may yield inaccurate results.
-Follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully when using the strips to ensure accurate readings.
-Avoid touching the test area of the strip with fingers or any other surfaces that could contaminate it.
-Keep out of reach of children.
-Side Effects:
-Improper use can lead to inaccurate readings which may result in inappropriate management of diabetes (e.g., incorrect insulin dosing).
