Keto-Diastix Reagent Strips for Urinalysis provide a fast, convenient way of testing urine for the presence and concentration of glucose and ketone (acetoacetic acid). Acetoacetic acid can be found in the urine from persons with diabetes and is more commonly referred to as a "ketone body." When dipped in urine, these test areas change color according to the amount of glucose and ketone in the urine. Use of Keto-Diastix Reagent Strips can alert you and your doctor to changes in your health. .
I read the instructions a few times before doing the test and to make sure I'm doing the test correctly, with the correct procedure, I then used the product on several occasions and what I found was the active part of the test strip (both to and bottom) did not change colour whatsoever. At one point (for a sanity test), I left a test strip for 5mins, after use and found that the active part of the test strip (both top and bottom) still did not change colour.
To give a bit of a background, I'm currently on a ketogenic diet and hence I expected to be able to detect ketones from the strip. My carb intake at max. is 70g on off days but on average it is currently around 25/30g per day
Whilst I'm sure this test method may work for some people, for me I think that there are better methods for testing blood sugar/ketones
I wouldn't discourage other people from using it, all I would do is give my experience with it. Therefore I'm bagging the product as such but this product is not for me
