One Step Urine Glucose Test Strips Diabetes Testing Kit 100 Dipsticks

Product Information

If you imagine something sweet when thinking about glucose, you are right; the term glucose has Greek origins and literally means "sweet. In people with type 2 diabetes, the body can’t produce enough insulin and the cells become resistant to its effects. However, the disruption of carbohydrate metabolism can lead to metabolic imbalances and the appearance of ketones as a by-product of the metabolism of an organism's fat reserves.

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.

The presence of myoglobin in urine gives a positive reaction in the test strip's blood test but the urine appears clear with a red to brown colouration. This protein consists primarily of low-molecular-weight serum proteins that have been filtered by the glomerulus and proteins produced in the genitourinary tract. Type 1 diabetes, also known as juvenile diabetes, is an autoimmune condition that develops when the immune system attacks insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. A doctor or lab technician will give you a plastic cup with a lid on it and ask you to provide a urine sample. It usually occurs around the sixth month of pregnancy when the blood and urine glucose levels become abnormally high.

Urine glucose test, sugar in urine test, glycosuria, or glucosuria test are different names of the same procedure. The test can often be read in as little as 60 to 120 seconds after dipping, although certain tests require longer. If the result was low this means at this time no excess glucose and/or ketones were found in your urine. Urine test strips can also be used for monitoring the urine of a diabetic for glucose where blood glucose testing is not possible or desirable. What this means is that you don't need to insert strips into the meter because they come pre-installed.Nitrite-reducing bacteria need to remain in contact with nitrate for long enough to produce detectable amounts (first urine produced in the morning or at least with a urine retention of 4 hours). You should cleanse your genital area with water or a sterile wipe before providing a sample of urine. Contrary to the general belief that indicators produce specific colours in response to particular pH levels, certain indicators change colour in the presence of protein even though the pH of the medium remains constant.
