I don't know much about using these for diabetes management, but if you are using these for Atkins' dieting (ketosis) hurry on down to WalMart and buy the Relion brand for less than seven dollars and NO S&H.

Anyone on a low carb diet should use these regularly, especiallly if you have had a few "cheat" days. It tells you when you are back in ketosis, which is key for keeping on track of your weigh in goals. Just make sure to keep them in a dark cabinet, that doesn't get too hot, as the strip indicators are heat, moisture and light sensitive.

I used this product before starting Atkins and the colors (easily discernable) that showed indicated "negative" ketoacidosis which is normal for those not on a low-carb diet. However, after the first week, I used another strip and it clearly showed moderate ketoacidosis which gave me the mentality that the diet I am on was working for my body. This is a very helpful tool for those on a low-carb diet. Even after a weekend of cheating on the diet and drinking beers, I immediately used the strips and it had showed my levels back to negative. This is very useful.

There is a 6 month expiration date with 50 strips so I would recommend using 2 strips a week for 6 months. This will also help you make sure you're on track with whatever low-carb diet you are on.

I am on a low-carb diet and these sticks definately help. I would strongly recommend these to anyone.

I cycle on/off Atkins and these work pretty good. No complaints. A little expensive though.

A clear way to know whether you're actually burning fat. Quick, easy, and accurate.
