it is only for testing sugar content in liquid. if you took a pinepapple then juiced it. it could tell you how much sugar is in the juice. the instructions that come with it are worthless they are in chinese

No. If your blood sugar is very high you will be prompted to check ketones by your meter. These strips only test blood sugar. Ketosis is generally only in type 1 diabetics.

This meter does have the capability of testing for both glucose and ketones. The meter includes glucose test strips, but does not include ketone test strips. My son has been using this meter for 6 years. It is accurate for both glucose and ketones.

If it does it will be very few of them, I don't remember. Some of the testers come with 10 at most. Your most expensive part of testing blood sugar is the strips. These strips are some of the least expensive, but it is accurate in my opinion. hope this helps

No, blood glucose test strips are brand specific True test strips are for True Result or True2go meters from Nipro Diagnostics, FreeStyle meters require FreeStyle branded test strips from Abbott labs, need to verify which meter you have to get correct strips there are FreeStyle and FreeStyle Lite strips and they don't all work with every meter.

My kit included everything I needed to start off. It had the meter, a test strip drum, lancing device and lancets. I did order extra, the test strip drum holds 17 test strips and depending on how often you test they could be used up within a couple of days. I also ordered a box of lancets.

Yes. It tests as Na (sodium). I really don't recommend the test kit though. Mine was missing some of the test strips.

Your meter is designed to check for both blood glucose and blood ketones depending on which test strips you use.

There are seventy (70) experiments listed in the booklet included with the kit. The list of items that you need but are not included in the kit, is rather extensive, and includes about 33 items. Those items, helpfully, are listed on the front page of the booklet, along with a list of items included. There is also a "You Get It" list of ingredients under each experiment that calls for something that is not included in the kit. About 30 of them have such a list. Some of the items you need to get can probably be found around the average household. Some may require a shopping trip. I hope this helps you out. :)

Yes. It comes with the lancing device for obtaining the blood specimen and full instruction booklet. I don't recall for sure if it also comes with test strips but I think some were included. I find ebay a good place to find discounted test strips.

To the best of my knowledge, the kit only comes with the meter, a lancet device, lancets and one disc with 10 test strips. My husband has two of these meters and they work fine without using the control solution. You can buy the control solution separately if you are concerned about the accuracy of the meter.

The readings are accurate. Older glucose monitors measure blood sugar in whole blood, whereas the TRUEResult meter with its TRUETest strips report the blood sugar as a plasma (not whole blood) value. Blood sugars reported by your doctor's lab, or a hospital lab, are also reported as plasma glucose values, so the results on this meter and its strips will more precisely match your doctor's reports and values. Plasma glucose is typically 10-12% higher than glucose levels reported from whole blood-based testing meters. You can always obtain "control solutions" with known glucose levels to check and ensure accuracy. I hope this information is helpful.

No; save your money. I used it for two months following directions on the bottle. I had my cholesterol checked and the numbers did not improve one bit. In fact, my HDL (good cholesterol) went down which is not good.

I bought a box of packets on amazon and use it every day. I'm looking at the back of a packet. It says Cal 0, Total Fat 0g, Total Carb <1g, Sugars <1g, Protein 0g.

I am not sure what you are asking. I do not know of any scale that can electronically detect the fats and carbs in a food. I am a chemist and if someone had invented that it would be headline news. This scale has the nutrition information of thousands foods in its memory. You weigh something and then input a code number and it will display nutritional information for that food based on the weight. In other words you weigh a pork chop and input the code for pork chop and it will display the calories, fat, carbs and other nutrition information. The scale comes with a booklet with thousands of foods and their codes. I have not used the codes much but I seem to remember that they arranged alphabetically by foot type, i.e. "meats", "Poultry", "vegetables" etc.

The code chip contains the precise calibration for the machine to the strip test vial for an accurate glucose level on blood. However, you might take other vial with other chip and have results within a range but not accurate. Specially when the readings are near the low or high levels.
