Abbott FreeStyle Optium KETONE Test Strips – Accurate Ketone Monitoring for Diabetes Management

Abbott FreeStyle Optium KETONE Test Strips

Abbott FreeStyle Optium KETONE Test Strips are specially designed to provide quick, accurate measurement of blood ketone levels, an essential tool for people managing diabetes. Used with compatible Abbott meters (FreeStyle Optium, Optium Xceed, and FreeStyle Optium Neo), these strips help identify early signs of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and allow timely intervention.

Unlike urine ketone testing, which can lag behind blood ketone levels, these strips give real-time, laboratory-quality readings within seconds. Each strip is individually foil-wrapped to protect against moisture and contamination, ensuring freshness and accuracy for every test. Ideal for home monitoring and clinical support, Abbott FreeStyle Optium KETONE Test Strips are a trusted choice for reliable diabetes management.
