A comparison of enzyme reagent strip tests for lacrimal glucose.
Lacrimal glucose screening for diabetes mellitus is becoming increasingly popular in optometric practice. Several commercial glucose test kits are available and can be used for this purpose. This paper compares the cost, reaction range, and reaction time reported for six different types of reagent strip tests.
