Understanding Blood Ketone Test Results
The meter displays ketone results in mmol/L, from 0.0 - 8.0 mmol/L. The unit of measurement is
preset. You cannot change this setting.
IMPORTANT:
Follow your healthcare professional's advice before you make
any changes to your diabetes management program.
Blood ketone is expected to be below 0.6 mmol/L.2 High blood ketone may be caused by illness,
fasting, vigorous exercise, or uncontrolled blood glucose levels.1-3
Repeat a blood ketone test using a new blood ketone test strip when:
•
HI appears on the display
•
Your result is unusually high
•
You question your result
•
Your blood ketone result is 0.0 mmol/L, but your blood glucose is higher than 16.7 mmol/L
