Female
12 ~ 15 g/dL
Hematocrit *

• If the hematocrit test result is more than 70%, or
hemoglobin is more than 23.8 (g/dL), the blood glucose test
may be invalid. Please redo the test, and consult your doctor
if the result is repeatedly invalid.
• The β-Ketone test measures Beta-Hydroxybutyrate (ß -OHB),
the most important of the three β-Ketone bodies in the blood.
Normally, levels of ß –OHB are expected to be less than 0.6
mmol/L.
• ß -OHB levels may increase if a person fasts, exercises
< 100 mg/dL (5.6 mmol/L)
< 200 mg/dL (5.17
mmol/L)
3.5 ~ 7.2 mg/dL (0.208 ~
0.428 mmol/L)
2.6 ~ 6 mg/dL (0.155 ~
0.357 mmol/L)

vigorously or has diabetes and becomes ill. If your β-Ketone
result is 0.0 mmol/L, repeat the β-Ketone test with new
test strips. If the same message appears again or the result
does not reflect how you feel, contact your healthcare
professional.
Follow your healthcare professional's advice before you
make any changes to your diabetes medication programme.
If your β-Ketone result is between 0.6 and 1.5 mmol/L, this
may indicate development of a problem that could require
medical assistance. Follow your healthcare professional's
instructions. If your β-Ketone result is higher than 1.5
mmol/L, contact your healthcare professional promptly
for advice and assistance. You may be at risk of developing
diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA).
Please consult your doctor to determine a target range
that works best for you.
