The glucose (and ketone) QC lockout/warning interval for the Abbott connected meters can be changed or disabled. We have glucose and ketone QC lockouts set to different time intervals. If the glucose QC was expired, would that prevent you doing a ketone test?

Hi
I ruled out the Abbott meter for ketone only testing as you still have to QC the machine for glucose as well. As we have Roche glucose meters, that was way too complicated for the staff!

We understand that you cannot turn off the glucose function on the Abbott machine, is this true?

Hi Caroline,

We're in the middle of a blood glucose and ketone monitoring tender so will be interested to read any replies you receive. There is also the Abbott FreeStyle Precision Pro (formerly Precision Xceed Pro) blood glucose and ketone monitoring system which is also connectable. This newer version also has wireless capability.

Hope this helps,

Kerry

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,
