Dextrostix test measures which parameter?

Explanation:
Dextrostix is a colorimetric test strip used to estimate the amount of glucose in a small blood sample. You put a drop of blood on the strip, it develops a color, and you compare that color to a reference chart to estimate the blood glucose level. This is specifically about glucose measurement, not about red blood cell content, clotting function, or kidney waste products. Therefore, it’s not used to assess hemoglobin, platelet function, or creatinine (which are determined by separate tests).
