• Quick and reliable results: Get results within minutes.

• Tracks glucose and ketone levels: Helps identify blood sugar issues and ketosis.

• Supports better health management: Ideal for people with diabetes or those monitoring glucose control.

What This Test Measures

This test measures:

• Glucose: A key indicator of blood sugar levels.

• Ketones: Elevated ketones can indicate ketosis, which may be linked to uncontrolled diabetes or fasting.

How It Works

• Order Your Kit: Purchase your test online.

• Collect Your Sample: Collect your urine sample.

• Compare with Chart: Compare your test strip result with the color chart provided in the kit.

Symptoms

High blood sugar levels, often linked with diabetes, can develop over time. Symptoms of high blood sugar may include:

• Frequent urination

• Increased thirst

• Fatigue

• Blurred vision

• Slow-healing sores or frequent infections

Low blood sugar levels can occur in people with diabetes who take insulin or other blood sugar-lowering medications. Symptoms of low blood sugar may include:

• Shakiness

• Sweating

• Feeling weak or lightheaded

• Confusion

• Rapid heartbeat

It's important to address blood sugar levels to avoid severe symptoms. Regular testing can help before it leads to complications.

No Lab Required

This is a rapid test, meaning no lab analysis is required. Results are available in minutes, so you can take immediate action based on your health needs.

Biomarkers included

• Glucose: Glucose is the body’s primary source of energy and is especially important for brain and muscle function. Blood glucose is tightly regulated by insulin and other hormones to keep levels within a healthy range. Measuring glucose is central to evaluating metabolic health and is used in the assessment of diabetes, insulin resistance, and hypoglycemia. Persistently elevated glucose may indicate impair
• Ketones: Ketones are substances produced when the body breaks down fats for energy, especially during low carbohydrate intake such as fasting or following a ketogenic diet. This process, called ketosis, primarily takes place in the liver and generates key ketones like beta-hydroxybutyrate, acetoacetate, and acetone. Ketones serve as an alternative energy source, particularly for the brain, but elevated lev

How to prepare

No fasting required. It is recommended to use the first morning urine for best results.

Frequently asked questions

Why is it important to measure ketones?

Ketones are produced when the body burns fat for energy instead of glucose. In the context of diabetes, this often happens because there isn't enough insulin to help glucose enter the cells. High ketone levels in the urine can be a warning sign of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA).
