FORA Test Strips

Blood glucose test strips are a key component of blood glucose testing. They are small disposable strips of plastic and they provide a very important role in helping people with diabetes to monitor and control their diabetes. The strips work with glucose meters to read your blood sugar levels. Knowing your blood sugar levels will help to manage your disease.


Ketone test strips measure the ketone levels of your urine and they were originally designed for those with diabetes who are at risk for potentially life-threatening ketoacidosis, which occurs when the body overproduces ketones as a result of lock of insulin.

FORA Blood Glucose Test Strips and FORA Ketone Test Strips are compatible with the FORA Advanced GD40h manufactured by B. Braun Medical Ltd.

Blood glucose test strips will usually have a use by date on the strips or box they come in. After opening, blood glucose test strips will typically be good to use for another 3 to 6 months but refer to the box or information leaflet for advice specific to your brand of test strips.

Glucose test strips are used with a monitoring device and do not have any side effects because they are not used on or in your body. Collecting the blood to test with a glucose test strip usually involves pricking your skin with a needle, which may cause some pain. Talk to your doctor if you have any concerns about using glucose test strips to monitor your blood sugar.
