Nova Max Plus Blood Glucose Monitoring System

The Nova Max Plus Meter is one of two meters on the market that has the ability to test both blood glucose and blood ketone levels. Blood glucose meters are an essential tool when managing your diabetes. Blood glucose levels, when taken at various times of the day, provide crucial information for the person with diabetes and his or her healthcare team.

• Fast 5 second results for glucose levels
• Uses a small amount of blood - 0.8 microliters for testing blood ketones
• Quick 10 second results for ketones
• Reliable and accurate reading since no other sugars can interfere with glucose readings

By testing your glucose levels at various times of the day you will provide yourself and your health care team with enough information to determine the impact that your medications, food, activity, stress level, sleep etc. have on your body. From these readings, adjustments in your current treatment are more viable.

When your glucose levels are high (approximately 300 mg/dL and above), your body is unable to receive energy from glucose since all that energy remains in the bloodstream and is unable to feed the body's cells like the brain, muscles, liver, kidneys, etc. The body must be fed in order to stay alive, so it starts using fat for energy in the form of ketones. The dangerous complication from ketone production and high blood glucose levels is known as Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) which can lead to illness or death.
