• β-OHB levels may increase if a person fasts, exercises
vigorously or has diabetes and becomes ill. If your β-Ketone
result is 0.0 mmol/L, repeat the β-Ketone test with new
test strips. If the same message appears again or the result
does not reect how you feel, contact your healthcare
professional.
Follow your healthcare professional’s advice before you
make any changes to your diabetes medication programme.
If your β-Ketone result is between 0.6 and 1.5 mmol/L, this
may indicate development of a problem that could require
medical assistance. Follow your healthcare professional’s
instructions. If your β-Ketone result is higher than 1.5
mmol/L, contact your healthcare professional promptly
for advice and assistance. You may be at risk of developing
diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA).
