The ONE TOUCH BASIC Blood
Glucose Monitoring System meas-
ures the amount of glucose (sugar) in
whole blood. When blood is applied
to the Test Strip, compounds on the
Test Strip react with the blood and
a blue color is formed. The intensity
of the color is then measured and
read by the ONE TOUCH BASIC
Meter.
