A member asked:
Does clinistix fail to show the presence of glucose if the test strip has been dipped in toilet?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dilution Effect: Generally, urine glucose testing strips need to be dipped into urine only. If dipping into toilet water there will be a significant dilutional effect and make the reading inaccurate.
