Glucose Test Strips
These glucose test strips are intended for demonstrating osmosis across a membrane similar
to the way the small intestine works. One can show that starch does not cross the barrier but glucose does.
The color test chart indicates concentration levels in mg/dL but you can convert this to mmol/L by
multiplying by 0.055. eg. 100mg/dL is equal to 5.5mmol/L.
These strips are specific to glucose. You will not get a reaction with soft drinks or regular sugar since
these are mainly fructose or sucrose. However, one simple demonstration anyone can do is to chew a saltine (salty cracker)
and spit out a bit after a few seconds & test it. Then try it again but chew longer so that the salty taste disappears and
begins to taste slightly sweet. The strips are sensitive enough to detect this.
These strips are not intended for medical diagnosis. Should you decide to test your urine &
you get any positive result you should report it to your physician and test your blood sugar levels.
Note(1): The number of strips per pack or vial is approximate.
