A member asked:
How accurate are the diastix strips?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Accurate for urine: Diastix are fairly accurate for telling how much glucose is in the urine; however, this is not always a good indicator of the current level of glucose in the blood, as the urine excreted may have been produced many hours before.
