OneTouch Verio® Test Strips for Blood Glucose Monitoring

OneTouch Verio® test strips are single-use strips for capillary blood glucose testing with OneTouch Verio family meters. This page helps you confirm compatibility, learn proper use, and compare alternatives. Order from Canada with US delivery, with potential savings even without insurance.

What OneTouch Verio® Is and How It Works

These test strips are designed for self-monitoring of blood glucose at home. They work with Verio-series meters by drawing a tiny blood sample into the strip tip and measuring glucose using an electrochemical reaction. Results display on the meter within seconds.

CanadianInsulin connects patients with licensed Canadian pharmacies. Prescriptions are verified with your clinic before dispensing.

Verio strips are compatible with supported Verio family meters, including the Verio Flex and Verio Reflect models. If you need a compatible meter, consider the OneTouch® Verio Flex Meter. For tips on meter features and setup, see our article on Onetouch Verio Flex Meter.

Who OneTouch Verio® Is For

These strips are for people with diabetes who use a OneTouch Verio family meter. They are intended for fingertip capillary blood testing in a home or ambulatory setting. They are not interchangeable with strips from other brands or meter lines, and they are not for use with OneTouch Ultra meters.

Do not use for diagnosing diabetes or for testing newborns. If you are on dialysis, severely dehydrated, or critically ill, ask your clinician which testing method is appropriate.

Dosage and Usage

Use your strips exactly as described in the OneTouch user guide for your Verio meter. General steps are:

• Wash and dry your hands with warm water. Prepare your lancing device.
• Insert a new strip into the meter. Wait for the meter to prompt for blood.
• Lance the side of your fingertip. Gently squeeze to obtain a small drop.
• Touch the strip tip to the blood drop and let the channel fill completely.
• Hold steady until the meter confirms it has enough sample.
• Read your result on the screen. Follow your care plan as directed by your clinician.
• Record results in your logbook or meter app, if available.

Typical times to test include fasting, before meals, two hours after meals, at bedtime, and when you feel symptoms of low or high glucose. Your clinician will guide how often to test and how to act on results.

Strengths and Forms

Common retail presentations include:

• Boxes of 50 test strips
• Boxes of 100 test strips
• Manufacturer control solution sold separately

Packaging and counts may vary by manufacturer lot and pharmacy. Canadian supply options can differ from US retail packaging.

Missed Dose and Timing

If you miss a planned check, test when you remember and resume your usual schedule. If a result seems inconsistent with how you feel, wash hands and repeat with a new strip. Follow your clinician’s plan for additional checks during illness, medication changes, or increased activity.

Storage and Travel Basics

Store strips in their original vial with the cap closed tightly. Keep them dry and at room temperature, away from heat, cold, and humidity. Do not refrigerate or freeze. Do not transfer strips to any other container. Discard strips after the expiration date and follow any opened-vial guidance in your user manual.

While traveling, keep strips and your meter in carry-on baggage. Avoid leaving supplies in a hot car or in direct sunlight. At airport security, x-ray screening is generally acceptable for strips and meters; if concerned, you can request a hand inspection.

Pen Handling and Sharps Disposal

These strips are used with a lancing device and disposable lancets. Never share your lancing device or lancets. Replace the lancet after each use to reduce pain and infection risk. Dispose of used lancets in a puncture-resistant sharps container or a heavy plastic bottle with a secure lid, following local regulations.

If you need fresh lancets, options include Accu-Chek® FastClix Lancets or OneTouch® UltraSoft Lancets. Use lancets that fit your lancing device and follow the device’s instructions.

Side Effects and Safety

• Mild fingertip pain or tenderness from lancing
• Small bruise or redness at the puncture site
• Skin irritation if sites are not cleaned and dried
• Occasional error messages due to insufficient sample or strip damage

Serious issues are uncommon but can occur if results are inaccurate. Damaged strips, improper storage, extreme temperatures, or contaminated samples can affect readings. If you get an unexpected low or high value, wash hands and repeat with a new strip. Seek urgent care for severe symptoms of hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia.

Drug Interactions and Cautions

Some conditions and substances can interfere with glucose readings, depending on the meter-strip technology. High-dose vitamin C, severe dehydration, high altitude, extremes of hematocrit, and some medications may impact results on certain systems. Always review your meter’s user guide for known interferences, and discuss any supplements or new medications with your clinician.

What to Expect Over Time

Most users establish a testing routine tied to meals, activity, and symptoms. Over time, your data helps you and your clinician adjust nutrition, activity, and medications. Verio meters can store results and, with supported models, sync to an app for trend review. Consistent technique, fresh lancets, and proper strip storage all support reliable readings.

Compare With Alternatives

All test strips are meter-specific. If you do not use a Verio meter, consider strips that match your device. For example, many patients use Contour® Next Test Strips with Contour Next meters, or FreeStyle® Lite Test Strips with FreeStyle Lite meters. Accu-Chek Aviva strips are another common choice for compatible Accu-Chek meters.

Availability and Substitutions

Supply can vary by box size or lot number. If your usual Verio strips are unavailable, your clinician or diabetes educator may suggest a compatible alternative, which could involve switching meters. If you use an older OneTouch Ultra meter, select OneTouch® Ultra Test Strips instead, as Verio strips are not compatible with Ultra meters.

Patient Suitability and Cost Saving Tips

These strips suit adults and children who use a Verio-series meter and perform fingertip testing. They are not right for patients who use a different brand meter, need hospital-grade monitoring, or require arterial or venous sampling.

• Buy larger count boxes to reduce cost per strip when appropriate.
• Order a multi-month supply to reduce shipping fees over time.
• Set refill reminders so you never run out unexpectedly.
• Store correctly to avoid waste from damaged or expired strips.
• Confirm your meter model before ordering to avoid returns.

Questions to Ask Your Clinician

• How often should I test on typical days and during illness?
• What glucose targets should I use for fasting and after meals?
• When should I confirm a result with a repeat test?
• What steps should I take for low or high readings?
• Do any of my medications or supplements affect my meter readings?
• Is alternate site testing appropriate for me with my device?
