Keytone Testing

[Lordy100]

Hi everyone,

What are the ranges for keytone tests? I have inadvertently binned the leaflet and thought I had better right it somewhere just in case. Obviously I know that higher numbers are not good.

Thanks

The ones I use (ketostix) are as follows:

Trace = 0.05g/L OR 0.5mmol/L OR 5 mg/dL
Weak = 0.15 OR 1.5 OR 15
Moderate = 0.4 OR 4 OR 40
Strong = 0.8 OR 8 OR 80
Very strong = 1.6 OR 16 OR 160

I've included the units as I'm not sure which is most relevant to you. Obviously any ketones are bad, but I'm sure you know that

Hope you get yourself sorted soon.

Take care.
Emma

Thanks for that. My apologies for spelling error or rather incorrect word. Right rather than write, oh dear!
