In Dr Atkins book he recommends purchasing and using lipolysis testing strips to determine wether or not you are in ketosis. I sent my husband to the pharmacy to purchase some but gave him the wrong information. What he came home with was Reagent Strips (Glucose testing) strips...name brand Diastix.

My questions are:
Will these strips do the same thing?

If they wont, will they atleast give me some other information that I can use?

Are they just useless and I should toss them?

What is the name of the strips that I need to purchase?

Thanks again for your help
