Precision Xtra Blood Ketone Test Strips - 10 ea Review

Precision Xtra Blood Ketone Test Strips - 10 ea

I am not a diabetic.I am on the Ketogenic Diet which also requires the testing of ketones.However, on KD, ketones are tested to insure they are high enough to 'do the desired job'.I got these strips as a comparison for my urinary ketone testing.However, I discovered that urinary ketone strips measure one type of acetones and the blood ketone strips measure another type.Therefore, even when my urinary ketones were moderate for 1/2 a day, my blood ketones measured only .2!Although I cannot be certain, I suspect that the blood ketone strips measure ketones made from poly-unsaturated fat as most of my fat comes from mono-unsaturated fat (olive oil) and saturated fat (palm shortning, dairy, and meat).

Freestyle Lite Mail Order Test Strips 50-Count Box Review

I've been using these strips in my AlphaTrak meter (dog / cat meter).The true AlphaTrak strips are very expensive, more than twice as expensive as these Freestyle Lite strips.I've run a comparison of the two strips on the same drop of blood and got the same reading.I've run other tests 2 - 3 minutes apart, on different droplets, and the readings were within a few points.Of course, make your own decision as to using these strips for your dog.
