Test principle
Glucose in the blood sample mixes with special chemicals in the test strip and
a small electric current is produced. The strength of this current changes with
the amount of glucose in the blood sample. Your meter measures the current,
calculates your blood glucose level, displays the result, and stores it in its
memory.
