β-OHB levels may increase if a person fasts, exercises vigorously or has
diabetes and becomes ill. If your β-Ketone result is "Lo", repeat the
β-Ketone test with new test strips. If the same message appears again
or the result does not reflect 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).

Comparing Meter and Laboratory Results

The meter provides you with whole blood equivalent results. The result
you obtain from your meter may differ somewhat from your laboratory
result due to normal variation. Meter results may be affected by factors
and conditions that do not affect laboratory results in the same way. To
make an accurate comparison between meter and laboratory results,
follow the guidelines below.
Before going to the lab:

Perform a control solution test to make sure that the meter is working
properly.

Fast for at least eight hours before doing comparison tests, if
possible.
