Do you currently have unexpired ketone strips (blood or urine)?

Other.
I don’t know.
All expired. All the time.
Their use is so infrequent or maybe as frequent as Norman Rockwell paints guillotines . . .
My TD1 doesn’t have me use Ketone Strips
Mine are expired urine strips, not gonna throw them out though
Yes. We have two blood ketone meters. We fill script for strips in order to never be without unexpired ones.
I wasn’t aware of a meter for Ketone strips. I’ve always seen the visual strips.
I do not have UNexpired Ketone strips. But, I have plenty of expired strips. I use the expired ones for years, and they seem to work well. I may use about five strips, or less, in a year. They come 50 in a container. Such a waste.
What is that
got ketone strips when dx 20 years ago. haven’t had them since………..
I put “other” because I don’t have any strips
In 66 years I have never had ketone strips!
I haven’t checked ketones since when you put a drop of urine on a tiny white tablet(1970) Didn’t use them often. Who knows, I may have some of those somewhere!
I do have some. I can’t remember the last time I needed them, but they can be useful for figuring out whether I’m having an insulin delivery problem or if I just vastly underestimated my carbs.
Yes. I just recently used them after getting out of the hospital with a kidney infection and sepsis. I wish I had thought to use them before going to the hospital. It would have given me a clue to how sick I was.
Mine are expired.
Don’t have any ketone test strips right now.
Oops. User error. I tead question too quickly. I have EXPIRED urine ketone test strips. Like embarrassingly (10+ years) expired.
I do not recall ever having ketone test strips.
I have ketone strips, but I don’t know if they’re expired
