Safely Buy Accu-Chek Aviva Test Strips ( Test strips - non Rx ) from Canada Prescriptions Plus.

Indications

Accu-Chek Aviva test strips are used to check blood glucose levels in those with diabetes, hyperglycemia (high blood sugar), and hypoglycemia (low blood sugar).

The blood glucose test strips are designed to absorb smaller amounts of blood to provide more convenient testing. When used with the coordinating Aviva meters, the test strips offer accurate assessments of your blood sugar levels.

FAQ

Can I use a blood sample from other areas on my body?

Yes, your Accu-Chek Aviva test strips will work with blood from other areas of your body including your palm, forearm, or upper arm. Speak with your healthcare provider to determine alternative testing sites and the benefits of using these areas to test instead of your finger.

How large is the sample size for a blood sugar test?

The Accu-Chek Aviva test strips only require 0.6 microliters of blood to perform an accurate blood glucose test. These test strips are designed to attract blood and have high absorbency with a wide-mouth dosing area on the strip to make it easier to fill the strip with one drop.
