Question about testing for ketones

[Zelda & Walter]

Hi—I’m testing Walter’s ketones using the Precision Xtra but I am unsure about understanding the results. Can anyone advise? Thank you!

When do ketones show up on a blood ketone meter such as the Nova Max Plus or Precision Xtra Blood & Ketone meters?

The latest published research/studies in cats indicate ketones will begin to show up at readings of 2.4 and 2.55 on a blood ketone meter:
