I completely agree with keeping ketone and glucose meters separate.
That’s the route we have gone down as well, to avoid any potential mix up of strips and the wrong result being acted on.

Hi
We are using 6 nova meters connected to Nova Net. No major issues, implementation went well.
We have Roche glucose meters and I prefer to have separate glucose and ketone machines as I have had experience of a clinical incident following a mix up between a glucose and ketone test strips.

Dear All,
We are currently evaluating the Nova StatStrip ketone machine. Does anyone have any good/bad experience to share for this device?
We would also be interested to know if anyone is using or aware of any other PoC ketone machines from other providers with are connectable.
Thanks in advance,
