Ketone reading

[ashleighw1993]

I am a newly diagnosed type one diabetic. I have just measured my ketones and my machine came up saying Lo does anyone know what this means?

Read the instructions for you meter, but typically it means that your level is too low to get a reading and hence you have nothing to worry about.

What make of meter are you using?

Means <0.1 so all good

Thats great that its low was worried it was too high because my bms were 15.0
My meter says glucomen lx plus if that means anything?
