One Step Urine Glucose Test Strips Diabetes Testing Kit 100 Dipsticks

Product Information

Urine diagnostics makes major progress as reliability improves and test performance becomes progressively easier.

The test does not measure beta-hydroxybutyric acid and it is only weakly sensitive to acetone when glycine is added to the reaction. A glucose in urine test may be part of a urinalysis, a test that measures different cells, chemicals, and other substances in your urine. selling SD Codefree Blood Glucose Meter) has all the benefits of the Codefree plus it boasts a greater accuracy due to a wider haematocrit (HCT) range of 0-70% and GDH-FAD enzyme technology.

Normal urine contains very little protein, usually less than 100–300 mg/L or 100 mg per 24 hours is excreted. Reagent strip manufacturers incorporate peroxide, and tetramethylbenzidine, into the blood testing area.

Your doctor may want you to keep an eye on your ketone levels, so Multistix Urine Test Strips and other similar devices will likely be recommended for continued monitoring for diabetic ketoacidosis. Of the routine chemical tests performed on urine, the most indicative of renal disease is the protein determination.

Due to the risk of gestational diabetes in expecting mothers, proactive monitoring of blood and urine glucose levels is recommended to avoid pregnancy-related complications. Blood may be present in the urine either in the form of intact red blood cells (hematuria) or as the product of red blood cell destruction, hemoglobin (hemoglobinuria). It is normal to find up to 3 (occasionally 5) leukocytes per high power field (40X) in a urine sample, with women having slightly higher results owing to vaginal contamination. Reagent strip tests can detect concentrations as low as five red blood cells per microliter; however, care must be taken when comparing these figures with the actual microscopic values, because the absorbent nature of the pad attracts some of urine.

The results comparison chart for glucose shows a line of 6 colours starting with a negative result and then five positive ranges which get darker the higher the levels detected. Gestational diabetes (diabetes during pregnancy) can also result in the secretion of glucose in urine.It’s important to monitor your glucose levels if you have already been diagnosed with diabetes, or if you show symptoms of prediabetes.
