Re: Multistix - Bill's frugal idea works!- p.s.

[Guest guest]

I totally forgot to mention this idea, too from our last keto meeting. We don't

regularly check Noah's ketones anymore since he was seizure-free, but are back

at it again. Anyway, our dietician said she doesn't believe this would do any

harm to the stick, so it would be fine to cut them down the middle (someone in

our keto group at the hospital does this, too.) So, yes- good idea!!

Don't know if you could read everything very well that way...but it can be done,

because I tried it and used it. Shows enough for what I needed. Pretty frugal,

but if I had to pay out of pocket for them, and $92 would not be easy on my

budget, and I used as many as I use, be sure I would try this! A

frugal-friendly idea.

New Zealand though, (living here btw, I don't think I can be much help in

accessing them) we have to pay for them ourselves.

As has been so well controlled this yr, we haven't used them that

often, but I think testing at least once a week is a good idea if possible.

saw the ones you are talking about in the hospital but

didn't know you could buy them. thanks for clearing

that up. sometimes i think the keto team should supply

us with all this equipment seeing we do all the

monitoring! cheers , andrea.
