Chemcard Glucose home test requires no instruments. The Chemcard Glucose test is a simple, effective screening test which is used to identify abnormally high fasting plasma glucose (blood sugar) levels which are often a warning sign of diabetes.

Chemcard Glucose test is a 3 minute test which requires a single drop of blood obtained from a fingerstick, requires no instruments, and was shown in clinical trials to be 94 to 99.95 percent accurate in identifying normal and abnormal fasting plasma glucose levels. Chemcard Glucose is FDA 510(k) approved for both home use and in doctor's offices. Chemcard Glucose is not intended for use by persons who are known to be diabetic, or who are pregnant.As recommended by the ADA, Chemcard Glucose measures plasma glucose level after a minimum fasting period of 8 hours. The test device is in the form of a card about the size of a business card. A sterile disposable lancet is used to obtain a single drop of blood which is placed onto the "Test Area". After three minutes, the top layer of the card is peeled off and the results obtained by matching the color of the test area with a sliding color chart. Upon matching colors, the test card is turned over and the result appears on the back side of the test card. Consistent with the ADA screening criteria, Chemcard results of 125 mg/dl (6.9 mmol/l) or higher are considered abnormally high, while of 100 mg/dl (5.6 mmol/l) or less are considered normal. All abnormal results should be referred to a physician for follow-up diagnosis.
