They have been determined to be nonhazardous under the guidelines issued by OSHA in 29CFR 1910.1200(d). As with all laboratory tests, definitive diagnostic or therapeutic decisions should not be based on any single result or method. KETOSTIX results should never be used as the sole basis for adjusting insulin dosage. Urine Test for Ketone (Acetoacetic Acid) The strips provide a fast, convenient way of testing urine for the presence and concentration of acetoacetic acid (ketone). This substance when found in the urine provides information on carbohydrate and fat metabolism. Acetoacetic acid can be found in the urine from diabetics and is more commonly referred to as a "ketone body." Use of Ketostix Reagent Strips can alert you and your doctor or diabetes educator to changes in your condition for which adjustments in your diet and/or medication may be needed. Carefully follow the testing schedule your doctor or educator establishes. Reagents: 7.1% w/w Sodium Nitroprusside; 92.9% w/w Buffer. | | | Features: | |

 ketestix work very wellMar 26, 2011
By Janice L. Cervi
I have used these for years. They are most effective on low-carb diets like Atkins. These really keep you on tract and you can't cheat on your diet. It's hard to find them in the store and you have to ask the pharmacist to special order for you. It's easy to order from Amazon, and I get them within days.

These sticks work great in checking to see if you are in Ketosis while eating low-carb. Just be sure to check the expiration date and try not to use them beyond that date.

 WAY cheaper at WalmartJan 17, 2012
By KJ
This price is a rip off!!! You can get a box of 100 for less than $7 at Walmart!
The brand is ReliOn and is just as trusted as Bayer for diabetic blood tester strips as well as meters and home BP machines
