    Accu Check Active is amedical devicefor determining the approximate concentration ofglucosein theblood. It can also be a strip of glucose paper dipped into a substance and measured to the glucose chart. It is a key element of homeblood glucose monitoring(HBGM) by people withdiabetes mellitusorhypoglycemia. A small drop of blood, obtained by pricking the skin with alancet, is placed on a disposable test strip that the meter reads and uses to calculate the blood glucose level. The meter then displays the level in units ofmg/dlormmol/l.

    Since approximately 1980, a primary goal of the management oftype 1 diabetesandtype 2 diabetes mellitushas been achieving closer-to-normal levels of glucose in the blood for as much of the time as possible, guided by HBGM several times a day. The benefits include a reduction in the occurrence rate and severity oflong-term complicationsfromhyperglycemiaas well as a reduction in the short-term, potentially life-threatening complications ofhypoglycemia.

    Test strips that changed color and could be read visually, without a meter, have been widely used since the 1980s. They had the added advantage that they could be cut longitudinally to save money. Critics argued that test strips read by eye are not as accurate or convenient as meter testing. The manufacturer cited studies that show the product is just as effective despite not giving an answer to one decimal place, something they argue is unnecessary for control of blood sugar. This debate also happened in Germany where “Glucoflex-R” was an established strip for type 2 diabetes. As meter accuracy and insurance coverage improved, they lost popularity.
