What are blood sugar test strips?

A possible product would be the Beurer test strips GL 44/50/50 Evo or Alphacheck Professional blood sugar test stripes

The strip is then in the blood sugar measuring device, for example. Beurer blood sugar measuring device GL 44 mg/dl introduced, which evaluates the chemical reaction on the strip and shows the blood sugar value on the display. This value provides information about whether the blood sugar level is in the normal area or whether adjustments to the nutrition, medication or insulin dosage are required.
