KETO DIASTIX 50 Test Strips-Tests
Test strips for monitoring the presence and concentration of glucose and ketones (acetylacetic acid) in urine by diabetic patients and healthcare professionals.
The test strips Keto-Diastix test strips are a self-monitoring device for urine analysis. They are designed to monitor the presence and concentration of glucose and ketones in the urine of diabetic patients. This chronic disease, characterized by an excess of sugar in the blood, is mainly due to insufficient secretion of insulin by the pancreas, whose role is to encourage glucose uptake by cells for storage. When blood glucose levels fall, the body begins to draw on fatty acids to compensate for the loss of energy, releasing large quantities of ketone bodies. The presence of traces of ketone bodies in the urine is an important warning signal...
The keto-Diastix test strips change color when they come into contact with glucose and ketone molecules. Immersed in the urine, they respond immediately, enabling the patient or doctor to react quickly. This device has the advantage of being very simple to use, for both home and professional use. Patients can monitor themselves at home.
