When and how Diatesse tests are useful

Diatesse products and self-tests are suitable for anyone who regularly needs to measure their blood sugar or glucose levels. This may be due to a general interest in health, but also applies to people with chronic conditions or in the following situations:

• Diabetes patients who need to monitor their blood sugar regularly
• People following a ketogenic or low-carb diet
• For therapy monitoring, for example to adjust medication or nutrition
• For sports and performance monitoring to see when the metabolism is in ketosis

Quality, safety & calibration

Diatesse places great importance on reliability, which is why test strips and devices should be checked regularly with control solutions. For example, the W2 control solution is used to verify measurement accuracy and detect device deviations at an early stage. It is also recommended to keep test logs in order to analyse long-term trends.

The manufacturer also recommends storing the products in a dry, cool and dark place to guarantee functionality. In addition, you should pay attention to expiry dates and follow the instructions in the enclosed user manual in order to obtain accurate results.
