Ketostix Reagent Strips for Urinalysis, Ketone Test - 50 ea

I should preface this review by saying that I am not monitoring diabetes. Rather I am on the keto diet and out of curiosity wanted to see if my body was producing excess ketones. I also wanted to see how long after I had a 'cheat' day that I would return to ketosis. I think for these purposes this product is a reasonable but not an essential purchase. The sticks are simple to use and do indicate the presence of ketones. It should be noted that these sticks are not as accurate as the blood-based ones and are not meant to closely monitor blood ketone levels. I would recommend using them first thing in the morning, as after eating, it may take some hours before ketones are detected in the urine again.

Does what it says.

Does exactly what it's meant to.

Does the job

As described

Perfect for testing your ketones.. This did help me to know for sure that I was in ketosis .. I cut mine in half .. they last twice as long then.. good buy

These seem to work, I felt the reading was accurate. Problem is about 5 days after I first used them, I decided to re-test. I opened the container and every single test was positive, so into the bin they went. I decided to give the product the benefit of the doubt and assume it was something I did that caused this problem (like breathing too close to the container or something) and I have re-ordered. Hopefully it wont happen again. If you are going to use this product then be sure to handle it correctly.

Value for money & easy way to check level of ketones. Not as described by the picture though, box didn’t have the lines or say Bayer on it. Misleading. Supplier needs to sort the picture.
