Each strip is for a single use only.
How do Freestyle Lite Test Strips work?
Freestyle Lite Test Strips work with a small drop of blood to measure glucose. The strip has special enzymes that react with the glucose. This reaction creates a small electrical current. Your blood glucose meter then reads this current. It displays your glucose level as a number on the screen. The strips have patented ZipWik tabs. These tabs make it easy to apply the blood. They quickly absorb the blood into the strip. This ensures enough blood is used for an accurate result. The whole process is very fast. You get a result in about five seconds.
