Do you use a home glucose monitoring system to check your blood sugar levels? You should then be familiar with a variety of glucose test strip brands that are available on the market.
Most people choose to (or rather have to) test with a well-know test strip brand such as Accu-Chek, OneTouch, FreeStyle, Nipro, or Bayer or have to go with a less-known brand such as Prodigy, Advocate, Embrace, or Arkray.
Others who may be un-insured, under-insured, or need more test strips than what they are covered for can seek more affordable alternative brands that allow them to obtain reliable results at a much lower cost.
Here I have listed 5 test strip brands that you may have not heard of. These glucose test strip systems could replace your existing system.
