Re: loosing keytones testing diapers

[Guest guest]

Hi

I have tested ketones quite a few times by ripping the top of diaper

and putting the stick in the middle portion, so far the colors have

never changed, even the one weekend morning when the alarm wasnt

turned on and she went 11 hours without eating. So either she never

spills any or I am doing it wrong. I will try the cotton ball tonight.

Dear Sabina,

After I had checked for a week or so and found that he didn't

spill ketones at night, now I only check when he is sick (vomitting,

fever, diarrhea or just not eating). I think that is how some of the

others do it, too.
