One Step Urine Glucose Test Strips Diabetes Testing Kit 100 Dipsticks

Product Information

Ascorbic acid concentrations of 3mmol/L or greater and/or high ketone concentrations (4mmol/L) may give false negatives for specimens containing small amounts of glucose (4-7mmol/L). It is designed for emergencies and not regular use and requires you to have add a recent asthma review. Traditionally, ascorbic acid (vitamin C) has been associated with false-negative reagent strip reactions for blood. This test looks for the presence of glucose and ketones in urine and can help identify diabetes at an early stage, before the illness causes any symptoms.

The control of urinary ketone is particularly useful in managing and monitoring diabetes mellitus type 1. While removing, run the edge of the Multistix Reagent Test Strips 100 against the rim of the urine container to remove excess urine. Depending on how you treat your diabetes then you might need to use a monitor and test strips to manage your diabetes. For people taking these medications, glucose levels shouldn’t be tested by urine, but testing ketones is still OK. Urine glucose test, sugar in urine test, glycosuria, or glucosuria test are different names of the same procedure.Test results can be used along with other diagnostic information to rule out certain diseases and to determine if microscopic analysis is needed. The test does not measure beta-hydroxybutyric acid and it is only weakly sensitive to acetone when glycine is added to the reaction.

While urine tests aren’t used to diagnose diabetes, they may help monitor a person’s levels of urine ketones and urine glucose.Urinalysis is a useful procedure as an indicator of health or disease, and as such, is part of routine health screening. Your doctor may want you to keep an eye on your ketone levels, so Multistix Urine Test Strips and other similar devices will likely be recommended for continued monitoring for diabetic ketoacidosis. The use of antibiotics will inhibit bacterial metabolism causing negative results even though bacteria are present. Glucose concentrations vary in an individual, and a healthy person can present with transitory glucosuria after a meal high in sugars; therefore the most representative results come from samples obtained at least two hours after food is eaten.
