Home Ketone Test Service
Fast, Reliable Ketone Testing for Diabetic and Unwell Patients – At Your Doorstep
At OnCallMD, we provide professional home ketone testing for patients with diabetes, prolonged illness, or symptoms of dehydration and metabolic imbalance. Ketone testing is essential for identifying diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) — a potentially dangerous complication that requires timely detection and medical management.
What is a Ketone Test?
A ketone test checks for the presence of ketones in the body — chemicals produced when the body starts breaking down fat for energy instead of glucose. This may happen due to:
-
Poorly controlled diabetes (especially type 1)
-
Severe dehydration
-
Prolonged fasting or illness
-
High fever with vomiting or poor oral intake
We use blood ketone testing kits to provide on-the-spot results within minutes.
