Abstract
Chemical test strips for estimating blood glucose have been shown to be reliable, rapid, and convenient when properly used. This study compares a new product, the Ames Visidex (Miles Laboratories, Elkhart, Indiana), and an established product, the Bio-Dynamics Chemstrip bG (Boehringer-Mannheim, Indianapolis, Indiana) with plasma glucose as measured by standard laboratory methods. Determination of blood glucose by visual inspection of both chemical strips gave an estimation of true plasma glucose in the hypoglycemic and euglycemic ranges. Both strips were reliable in predicting those values that were hyperglycemic (greater than 180 mg/dl).
