I do that when I get sick. It can get pretty serious for a diabetic
when they go into ketosis.

I'm not so keen on that, since they are doing it on purpose. Still,
maybe they have to watch and make sure it doesn't go out of control? I
don't know.

That one totally baffles me. If you want to know your results (and the
doctor in the ER will want to know) then you write them down. There's a
color code on the container. You match the color and it tells you the
reading. The instructions say that the color continues to change after
you hit the time to read it. I don't know what happens after that, as I
always flush them with the pee.
