[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 666637, member: 30007"] As a type 1 who was diagnosed at 13, it wasn't something that I worried about then. And if you are talking about younger children, most testing is done with adult oversight. Remember that ketones don't just magically appear. They require a high blood sugar first. This is detectable very easily, both by urine and blood testing. If the blood sugar is high, as a type 1 you will be looking to lower it anyway, or in the case of a child, your parents will. You may not agree, but it feels very much like a solution looking for a problem that isn't really there. Ketones are really the final symptom of an issue for wehich there are a range of earlier symptoms, so any testing is really a last resort. [/QUOTE]
