QUCARE® Self Triglyceride test strip
Qucare Self Triglyceride Test offers a fast and convenient way to monitor blood lipid levels at home, helping evaluate risks for cardiovascular health and metabolic syndrome in minutes.
Proactive Lipid Monitoring for Cardiovascular Health and Metabolic Management
Triglycerides are a type of fat (lipid) found in your blood. When you eat, your body converts any calories it doesn't need to use right away into triglycerides, which are stored in your fat cells. High triglyceride levels (hypertriglyceridemia) are often a sign of other conditions that increase the risk of heart disease and stroke, including obesity and metabolic syndrome.
The QUCARE® Self Triglyceride test strip is a rapid, finger-prick diagnostic tool designed to measure triglyceride levels accurately from the comfort of home. This test is essential for the early identification of lipid metabolism imbalances, enabling proactive management of cardiovascular risks.

Quick FAQ
- When is the best time to test my triglyceride levels?
- For the most accurate results, it is highly recommended to test after fasting for 9–12 hours (usually in the morning before breakfast), as triglyceride levels are significantly affected by recent food intake.
- What do my results mean?
- Compare your result to the color chart. Generally, a normal triglyceride level is less than 150 mg/dL. Levels between 150–199 mg/dL are borderline high, 200–499 mg/dL are high, and 500 mg/dL or higher are considered very high.
- What should I do if my level is high?
- The QUCARE® Self Triglyceride test strip is intended for screening and monitoring. If you obtain a high result, we recommend consulting a healthcare professional to discuss dietary changes, exercise, or medical treatments.
