Blood Glucose Test

The Blood glucose monitoring plays an important role in diabetes control. A long-term study 

showed that maintaining blood glucose levels close to normal can reduce the risk of diabetes 

complications by up to 60%.*1 The results provided by this system can help you and your 

healthcare professional monitor and adjust your treatment plan to gain better control of your 

diabetes.

For blood sugar tests

Your blood sugar measurements are plasma equivalent values and are shown in millimoles of 

glucose per litre of blood (mmol/L).

For 

β

-ketone tests

Your 

β

-ketone measurements are plasma equivalent values and are shown in millimoles of 

ketones per litre of blood (mmol/L).

The 

β

-ketone test measures beta-hydroxybutyrate (

β

OHB), the most important of the three 

β

-ketones in your blood. Under normal circumstances, the concentration of 

β

OHB in your blood 

should be less than 0.6 mmol/L.

1

The 

β

OHB concentration can increase if you are fasting and/or dieting, exercising intensively 

or suffer from diabetes and fall ill. If your 

β

-ketone test results in a "Lo", repeat the test using 

a new test strip. If you receive the same result or if the result does not match how you are 

feeling, then contact your healthcare professional. Always follow the recommendations of 

your healthcare professional before making any changes to your diabetes treatment. If the 

levels for your 

β

-ketone test are between 0.6 and 1.5 mmol/L, this could be due to an issue 

requiring professional medical attention. Carefully follow your healthcare professional's advice. 

If your 

β

-ketone test levels are greater than 1.5 mmol/L, immediately contact your healthcare 

professional, as this means you could develop diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA).
