Diabetes Blood Sugar Test Strips have made it easy for diabetic patients to test their blood sugar levels on their own on a regular basis. The Blood Sugar Testing Strips that were patented in 1996 have proved to be quite beneficial to the medical community. With the advancement in technology, the usage of diabetic strips has also advanced.  Basically they are still the same as they were created originally. These strips consist of a chemically treated paper that is commonly coated with mediators and enzymes. These coenzymes and indicators react according to the level of glucose in the blood and in turn provide an electronic reading on the monitor of the glucometer in which it is placed. It produces accurate results with the help of a small sample of blood, usually only one or two drops.

In the beginning the strip used to display a color that had to be matched with a predefined chart. But these results were not accurate as diabetic patients are usually associated with poor vision and can misjudge the color. However with the advancement in technology the results are now displayed digitally and are more accurate. This has made it easier for patients to test glucose levels easily and more accurately.

But it is important to purchase quality medical supplies from renowned companies to ensure accurate results. Storing testing strips properly is also important. If opened these strips should be placed in a closed vial or a foil wrapper and that too at room temperature. Since these strips are disposable, therefore users should use them only once and should be discarded properly.

Besides monitoring blood glucose levels using glucometer and testing strips it is also important for a diabetic person to follow a proper diabetes diet in order to remain healthy and active.
