FreeStyle Lite Test Strips

FreeStyle Lite Test Strips use an enzyme GDH-FAD in its New  Lite Test Strip chemestry that are not effected by non-glucose sugars that the original GDH-PQQ enzyme could not differentiate.  These test strips are compatible with all FreeStyle Glucose Meters to make testing just as convenient as ever, but with more accuracy. Featuring a new technology, the new test strips have faster blood application with the easy-to-use tapered Zip-Wik tabs.

"Abbott's new FreeStyle test strips offer innovative technology that delivers on what patients and health care professionals demand in diabetes care,"

- Heather L. Mason, Senior Vice President, Abbott Diabetes Care.

To use the FreeStyle Lite Glucose Meter with the FreeStyle Lite Test Strips, after applying the sample to the strip, you simply place strip in the test strip port. This will give you an audible beep that it has been placed properly.

You would be in good hands using FreeStyle Lite and staying loyal to their line, as they have been loyal to their diabetic customers for many years.
