Accu-Chek Aviva® Test Strips for Blood Glucose Monitoring

These are blood glucose test strips used with compatible home meters. They help you check your levels at home or on the go. This page explains fit, usage, storage, and ways to save, including options if you pay without insurance with US shipping from Canada.

What Accu-Chek Aviva Is and How It Works

YouDrugstore is a licensed Canadian pharmacy in Manitoba. Pharmacists review prescriptions before dispensing.

Accu-Chek Aviva® Test Strips work with designated Aviva family meters to measure glucose in a small capillary blood sample. The strip draws in a drop by capillary action. The meter reads the electrochemical signal generated by an enzyme on the strip and displays your result. Use only as directed in your meter’s instructions and the strip insert.

These strips are for self-testing of fresh fingertip blood unless your meter and insert specify approved alternate sites. They are not for diagnosing diabetes or testing newborns. Always compare results with how you feel and follow your prescriber’s guidance.

Who It’s For

These strips are intended for people who monitor blood sugar at home using a compatible Aviva meter. They may be used by adults with Type 1 Diabetes or Type 2 Diabetes, as directed by a prescriber. Do not use with other meter brands or models unless the labeling confirms compatibility. Avoid use on severely dehydrated patients, critically ill patients, or in neonatal settings, where laboratory methods are preferred.

Dosage and Usage

Follow your meter and strip insert. Typical steps:

• Prepare meter and a new strip, then wash and dry hands.
• Lance the side of a fingertip with a sterile lancet.
• Let the strip tip touch the blood drop until the window fills.
• Hold steady while the meter counts down and shows the value.
• Record the result or sync it if your device supports logs.

Use control solution to check your system when opening a new vial, after storage extremes, or when results don’t match symptoms. For mealtime testing schedules or sick-day plans, follow your prescriber’s instructions. If your plan includes alternative site testing, review the insert for when fingertip testing is required for accuracy.

For clarity, these are in vitro diagnostic supplies; dosing decisions belong to you and your healthcare team. The meter’s insert provides the complete operating procedure. For many users of these systems, Accu-Chek Aviva glucose test strips are recognized for small sample needs; always defer to official labeling for specifics.

Strengths and Forms

Common retail package sizes include sealed vials within boxed counts. Availability may vary by region and supply.

• Accu-Chek Aviva test strips 50 count box
• 100 count box (often two vials inside)

Each vial is factory sealed to protect the chemistry. Use strips only from their original vial and close the cap promptly after each strip is removed.

Missed Dose and Timing

If you miss a planned check, test at the next appropriate time based on your care plan. If you feel symptoms of low or high blood sugar, test right away and follow your clinician’s advice. Keep testing times consistent around meals, activity, and medications, as recommended by your prescriber. Do not retest repeatedly on the same fingerstick; use a fresh sample when results seem unexpected and run a control if needed.

Storage and Travel Basics

Store strips in the original vial with the cap closed. Protect from moisture and direct heat. Do not refrigerate or freeze. Do not transfer strips to another container. Check expiration dates on both the box and vial before use. Follow the insert for how long a vial remains usable after first opening.

When traveling, keep your meter, strips, and lancets in a carry-on, away from extreme temperatures. Bring extra supplies, your prescription details, and meter instructions. Pack a backup battery if your meter uses one. Consider a compact kit for organization and faster airport screening. For convenience while planning refills, browse our Diabetes Supplies. One micro security note: our checkout uses encrypted technology to protect your information.

Benefits

These strips are designed for everyday checks at home, work, or travel. They require a small blood sample and deliver a digital result in seconds. Clear fill windows and straightforward prompts on compatible meters can help reduce wasted strips. Control-solution testing supports quality checks after storage changes or when results appear inconsistent.

Side Effects and Safety

• Fingerstick pain or minor bruising
• Occasional bleeding at the site
• Skin irritation from repeated lancing

Serious reactions are unlikely from the strips themselves. The main concern is inaccurate readings if the system is used incorrectly, stored improperly, or exposed to interfering substances. Extremely high or low values should be confirmed per the insert and your care plan. If you use insulin or a sulfonylurea, discuss hypoglycemia recognition and treatment with your prescriber.

Drug Interactions and Cautions

Some glucose strip chemistries can be affected by non-glucose sugars or certain therapies, potentially causing false results. Review the strip insert for known interferences and environmental limits like altitude or humidity. Do not use expired or damaged strips. Use only fresh capillary whole blood unless the labeling says otherwise. Always match strips to a compatible meter and confirm units (mg/dL or mmol/L) on the display.

What to Expect Over Time

Your routine may become faster and more consistent with practice. Results should align with your meter’s quality checks and your care plan targets. Keep a log or sync to an app if supported. Share patterns with your prescriber, especially around meals, activity, illness, or medication changes. For community tips and seasonal reminders, see National Diabetes Month 2025.

Availability and Substitutions

We do not provide restock dates; please check back or ask your prescriber about suitable substitutes if needed.

Patient Suitability and Cost-Saving Tips

Good candidates are people who self-test as part of a diabetes plan and already use a compatible meter. Not ideal for those needing hospital-level monitoring or laboratory confirmation. For savings, consider multi-box orders to reduce trips, align refills with your testing schedule, and set reminders in your calendar. Keep an extra vial sealed for travel or busy weeks. Review your testing frequency with your prescriber to balance consistency and costs.
