Care Touch Ketone Test Strips - 50 Ketone Blood Test Strips for Diabetics and Ketogenic, Paleo and Atkins Diet

Care Touch β-Ketone Test Strips (50 Count) Ketones are formed when the body does not have enough glucose in its’ system, turning the ketones into an alternate source of energy. When there is not enough insulin in the body, glucose builds up in the blood, causing the body to break down fat instead. When this occurs, the liver prompts ketones to form in the blood, and spill into urine. In an individual with diabetes, ketone levels can become dangerously high and cause the blood pH to drop, which leads to an emergency health situation. For people with diabetes, it’s incredibly important to keep track of ketone levels throughout the day to avoid medical emergencies. Use our reliable test strips alongside the Care Touch® Blood Glucose and β-Ketone Monitor to accurately observe and record your blood levels. MONITOR SOLD SEPARATELY. This package contains 50 test strips that fit perfectly with the Care Touch® monitor.
