📋 Product Specifications

How Medisign Sugar Strips Work

When blood touches the strip, glucose oxidase reacts with the glucose and a mediator carries the resulting electrons to the strip electrodes, creating a small current. The meter converts that current into a glucose reading in mg/dL.

•       Home Monitoring: glucose checks before or after meals as your doctor advises

•       Diabetes Management: tracks how food, activity and medicines affect glucose

•       Low-Cost Testing: Rs. 18.70 per strip supports regular self-testing

Who Should Use Medisign Sugar Strips 50s

People with diabetes who use a compatible Medisign meter and are advised to self-monitor. Pakistan has an estimated 34.5 million adults (20-79) with diabetes, and 26.9% are undiagnosed (IDF Diabetes Atlas 2025).

🚫 Limitations and Cautions

MS-1 strips work only with a compatible Medisign meter; they will not work in other brands' meters. Do not use expired strips or strips from a vial kept open too long, and do not cut or bend strips. Glucose oxidase strips can be affected by oxygen therapy, high altitude, severe dehydration and abnormal hematocrit; check the insert [CONFIRM].

💊 How to Test Blood Sugar with Medisign Sugar Strips

1.     Wash Hands: Wash and dry your hands; sugar on the skin can falsely raise a reading.

2.     Insert a Strip: Insert a new Medisign MS-1 strip into the meter.

3.     Get a Blood Drop: Prick the side of a clean fingertip with a new Medisign lancet in the lancing device.

4.     Apply Blood: Touch the blood drop to the strip as directed and wait for the reading.

5.     Record and Dispose: Record the result with the time and meal timing, then discard the strip and lancet in a sharps container.

⚠️ Understanding Your Results

For most non-pregnant adults with diabetes, American Diabetes Association targets are below; your doctor sets your personal target.

Below 70 mg/dL, take about 15 g of fast-acting carbohydrate and re-check in 15 minutes. Repeat unexpected readings and report repeated highs or lows to your doctor.

🏠 Care and Storage

Close the vial immediately after taking a strip, and store it cool and dry, away from sunlight and bathroom humidity. Write the opening date on the vial and discard strips after the open-vial life in the insert [CONFIRM]. Keep out of reach of children.
