Message: <blockquote data-quote="AndBreathe" data-source="post: 592250" data-attributes="member: 88961">Diastix detect sugar in urging, by a chemical reaction between the urine solution and the impregnated patch on the strip.  So, coke versus diet coke is the same test.  If the drink is full coke, the square will indicate sugar.  If it's the diet variant, it won't.Diastix can be bought without prescription, and at around £5 for 50, are significantly cheaper than a test strip.  They are also a bit more discreet to dip in a glass than trying to manoeuvre a stick loaded meter around a glass.Ketostix, for ketones are the same style of strip, but with a different reagent, so won't work for sugar.</blockquote>
