How It Works
Accu-Chek Instant Strips employ sophisticated enzymatic technology that reacts with blood glucose. When blood contacts the strip, specialized enzymes trigger an electrochemical reaction, generating a precise electrical signal that the meter converts into an accurate glucose reading.
Duration of Action
