And, for bonus points, how are they made?

These seem like an awfully important test piece. I’m pretty sure they’re just checking for glucose with some enzyme or something. But who knows, maybe its something simple or everyday? Are all brands using the same materials?

    I think this might be a “yes, but no” kind of thing.

    Yes, these are test strips. Yes, they change color to indicate a reading. Yes, they use chemical reactions to cause that color change.

    AFAIK: No, these aren’t for testing blood. No, these don’t seem to be for consumption by an electronic meter. And no, I don’t think this is what OP was asking about.

    Like, there’s probably some good info, but not for this thread specifically :P

    Source: Pulling it straight out of my ass, but it is informed by my limited experience with medical test equipment, and much less limited experience with electronics.
