Friday, February 10, 2012

Before I get started with this project, I had done some researches about the Urine Tester Indicator (Diabetes) to get overview for more understanding.

What is Urine Tester Indicator?

Urine Tester Indicator can be used in many field of the healthcare chain including screening for routine examination, treatment monitoring, self-monitoring by patient or general preventive medicine. Indirectly, this applies particularly to diabetes, where the idea of self-monitoring of the metabolic status is self-evident. Screening for diabetes and kidney disease amongst high-risk population is becoming very familiar and popular.

Procedure to Make Urine Test

There are some steps to be followed to make the urine test. The operation is begin with taking the urine from the specimen and pours it into a small beaker. A urine reagent strip is dip into a small beaker. The urine reagent strip will change colour in the presence of glucose in the urine. The colour changes will be detected by sensor that has been installed in urine tester. The sensor will send the result to the microcontroller and the result will be displayed and analyzed.
