Ketostix
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ketostix is Bayer's brand name for test strips which measure the level of ketones in the urine. They are used by type 1 and type 2 diabetics to detect ketoacidosis (a dangerous condition) and by low-carb dieters to measure benign dietary ketosis or lipolysis, the burning of fat.
Other brands of ketone test strips are Uriscan and Atkins.
