Glucose and Ketones on the Same Monitor
The Nova Max Plus Glucose Meter automatically converts to a ketone meter by inserting the Nova Max Plus Ketone strip.Why Ketone Measurements Are Important
Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) is a life-threatening metabolic complication of diabetes with a mortality rate of 2%-10%.1 DKA is the leading cause of hospitalization, morbidity, and death in children with Type 1 diabetes.2 The use of a blood test for early detection of increased blood ketone levels can help to avert DKA.3-5 According to the ADA, blood ketone testing should be performed on sick days and whenever glucose is greater than 250-300 mg/dL.No Coding Needed
Miscoded meters can lead to glucose errors as large as 50%.No Maltose Error
Keeps some patients from getting falsely elevated glucose results from the presence of other sugars in the blood such as maltose.Tiny 0.3 Microliter Sample Size
Less pain for patients.Thin 33 Gauge Lancets
