Features and Benefits:

Why Ketone Measurements Are Important

• Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) is a life-threatening metabolic complication of diabetes with a mortality rate of 2%-10%¹
• DKA is the leading cause of hospitalization, morbidity, and death in children with type 1 diabetes ²
• The use of a blood test for early detection of increased blood ketone levels can help to avert DKA^3,4,5
• According to the ADA, blood ketone testing should be performed on sick days and whenever glucose is greater than 250-300 mg/dL.

Glucose and Ketones on the Same Meter - The Nova Max Plus Glucose Meter automatically converts itself to a Ketone meter by inserting the Nova Max Plus Ketone strip.

• No Coding Needed - Miscoded meters can lead to glucose errors as large as 50%
• No Maltose Error: Keeps some patients from getting falsely elevated glucose results from the presence of other sugars in the blood such as maltose.
• Tiny 0.3 Microliter Sample Size - Less pain for patients.
• Virtually Pain-Free 33 Gauge Lancets - Thinnest on the market – virtually pain free lancing –especially important for patients who test frequently.
• Fast 5-Second Glucose Results and 10-Second Ketone Results

Nova Max^® Glucose Test Strips - The Nova Max® Test Strips require no coding, a small blood sample of .3 microliters and come in a larger, easier to open vial. Contains 50 test strips.

Nova Max^® Ketone Test Strips - New Nova Max® Ketone Test Strips are packaged in a box containing 10 individually wrapped blood ketone test strips. The foil wrapped test strips are designed to be carried in your Nova Max Plus glucose meter case. The ADA recommends that blood ketone testing should be performed on sick days and whenever glucose values are greater than 250 mg/dL. Blood ketone measurements can often be done on same finger stick as glucose testing.

Nova Sureflex Lancing Device - Deciding on a lancing device is simple when comfort matters. The Nova Sureflex Lancing Device features 5 penetration depth settings and a force adjustment feature for more comfort and control. The device also comes with a clear alternate site end cap for testing on the forearm and palm.

Nova Sureflex Lancets - The Nova Sureflex Lancets are 33 gauge and designed for use with your Nova Sureflex Lancing Device. It is important to change and replace your lancet after every test and dispose of the used lancet in the correct manner. Please check with your local community or ask your CDE for specific instructions on disposal of used lancets.

Nova Max^® Control Solution - Control Solution tests are important in making sure your test strips and monitor are working properly. Ask your retailer about ordering control solution as needed. See the Nova Max^® Owner's Guide for full details on specific times to use control solution. Nova Max^® Control Solution is available in normal, low, and high.

Diabetes Nutritional Placement - Developed as a learning aid for anyone with diabetes to gain a basic understanding of nutrition and portion sizes for a variety of food types. The placemat uses a simple dinner plate divided into three sections to show recommended portions for meat, starch and vegetables. In addition, the placemat provides information using real-live comparisons for portion sizes, typical calories burned during lifestyle activities, and a “Did you know?” box that provides the “added” calorie values for common sweets like a scoop of ice cream or a chocolate chip cookie. The backside provides serving sizes for the various food groups including Meat, Starch, Vegetables, Fruit, Milk, Fat and Free Foods. There is also an 800 number to help you find a Certified Diabetes Educator (CDE).
