The Embrace TALK Test Strip are the latest advancement in technology utilizing under fill technology and small sample requirements. Both of these features help provide a less painful and more accurate method of testing for the patient. Under fill technology helps insure that an adequate amount of blood has been applied to the strip and therefore reducing the possibility of creating a false low reading which commonly occurs in many test strips. A small sample size provides the patient a more painless testing method by allowing alternate site testing on places like the forearm and palm where there are less nerve endings.
