Ketostix

With the help of Ketostix test strips, you can monitor the presence and concentration of acetoacetic acid (ketones) in the urine. Small amounts of ketones in the body are usually not harmful. However, if there are too many ketones in the body, there is a risk. Ketoacidosis can develop, which can lead to diabetic coma.

Regular monitoring is recommended, e.g.:

• if you have a cold, flu or other illness.
• if you experience signs of high blood sugar (over 240 mg/dl or 13.3 mmol/l) or if your blood sugar level is significantly above the target range set for you by your doctor.
• if you are under stress.
• if you are pregnant.
• if the urine sugar test shows that large amounts of sugar are being excreted.
