what two methods can be used for the estimation of blood glucose (ceehmical reaction)?

Question

i thought of bm stix, but was told it had to do with glucosedehydrogenase

Answer 1

there is also sugarpinprickonastick.........

Answer 2

BM stix are for capillary blood testing and are a useful monitoring tool. However the 'gold standard' is a fasting blood sugar test (ie a blood sample is taken from a vein) called Hb1AC. A third, more rough and ready guide, is a labstick test of a urine sample.

Answer 3

Think you are getting mixed up. To measure you need a pin prick of blood taken usually from finger tip, drip onto BM index machine and these days it takes a few seconds and the reading appears. Any hospital I've been in, including intensive care and casualty departments, all these machines.

Answer 4

Isn't glucose dehydrogenase the enzyme used on BM stix?

Answer 5

There are a number of different ways. In the older days, specific gravity was used and there are a number of different tests that can be used in the lab and on stir sticks. Antigenic response is one and there are a number of others.

Answer 6

Useing a blood monitor (you prick you finger and put the blood into a monitoring stick anf it tells you you blood sugar level) ,and then theres the urine sticks that check for keytones ,which indicate that your sugar is high and kidneys are now involved. These are indicators of whether sugar is spilling over into your urine.

Answer 7

one method is a blood glucose monitor like the one people use at home.
the other method would be the ( butterfly) blood test that they perform at hospital labs. they are more accurate

Answer 8
