hi Sally,

Agonycat is right, they're more commonly known as ketone testing sticks or ketosticks. They're almost always stocked with the diabetic supplies .. however ... quite a few chemists choose to keep them behind the counter, rather than on the open shelf. Apparently they're a popular item to nick -- go figure!

Good luck. Hint: try phoning different chemists first to see if they stock them .. save a lot of effort, and you could find out the cost too, so you can choose the cheapest place
