The KEYA Smart is a meter with a difference; each time it takes a glucose test it gives a ketone reading as well.
This has a number of advantages for people that need to test for ketones, such as people on insulin.
In addition to this unique feature, the KEYA Smart has a colour touchscreen, that allows you to view a number of different trends and includes colour in range indicators.
Glucose and ketones from one test
You take a test as normal and the meter uses the same drop of blood to show first a blood glucose result and will then show a ketone reading if ketones are elevated.
Ketone readings are colour coded to make it easier to know when to take action in responding to raised ketone levels.
By testing in this way, it saves needing to take separate tests for ketone readings and it gives you the chance to be aware of rising ketones at the earliest stage which can improve your chances of avoiding dangerous ketoacidosis.
The meter also removes the need for you to request ketone strips separately from your GP, this means you don’t need to ration ketone strips and you don’t need to feel indecisive over whether to test for ketones.
