FAQ’s
A. KEYA Smart is designed for people with diabetes who want a blood glucose meter for regular monitoring of their blood sugar levels but who also want the knowledge and reassurance that their blood ketones are within normal levels during routine glucose testing. Ketones can become elevated when there is not enough insulin in the body to use the available glucose forcing energy derivation from stored fats. The end result is a rise in ketone levels which if left untreated can result in a serious acute diabetic emergency known as diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). People that are dependent on insulin for treating their diabetes are at most risk of developing DKA. Therefore, patients benefiting the most from KEYA Smart are:
A. Typically if you are at high risk of developing or prone to Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) you should regularly measure for ketones. Talk to your Healthcare Professional to see if you could benefit from KEYA Smart.
For further information on DKA, see www.nhs.uk/Conditions/diabetic-ketoacidosis/Pages/Introduction.aspx
Always follow your healthcare professionals advice if elevated ketones are detected and if ever in doubt contact your doctor.
A. The KEYA Smart monitor only requires one type of test strip, the KEYA test strips. This is because KEYA test strips utilise advanced SYNCHRO-KINETIC™ technology which enables every KEYA test strip to measure both Glucose and Ketones in each test.
A. KEYA Smart simply requires one droplet of blood from one finger stick. The advanced KEYA Smart system does the rest to measure both your glucose and ketones from the one blood sample.
A. Yes. KEYA Smart is a glucose meter like no other. It is the first meter that combines, into one test, both an accurate blood glucose measurement plus the accurate detection of blood ketones whenever present.
A. KEYA Smart makes it simple for you and removes the need for you to decide when to test for ketones. Because KEYA Smart measures for ketones every time you measure your glucose, you no longer need to worry and think about separate ketone testing.
A. KEYA Smart has an optional alert mode for monitoring normal ketone levels for users that want additional ketosis information or want to understand the effect of diet and exercise under the guidance of their healthcare professional.
A. Yes. KEYA Smart exceeds the new ISO 15197 guidelines for glucose accuracy. You also get the benefit and reassurance of ketone monitoring as well thanks to the innovative SYNCHRO-KINETIC™ technology.
A. No. That’s the great thing about KEYA Smart technology. KEYA test strips only require a small 0.5 µl volume droplet of blood to measure both glucose and ketones.
A. No. You will be pleased to hear that the test time is still just 5 seconds, like most other blood glucose meters, to measure both your glucose and ketones simultaneously.
A. Under normal usage conditions and after a full charge, the meter will operate for approximately one month before requiring charging. Charging is via a micro-USB cable, which is supplied with a charger in the box.
A. Actually no. KEYA Smart delivers affordable innovative technology and valuable insights and reassurance at a cost equivalent to premium Glucose/ketone blood testing systems.
A. KEYA Smart has been Bluetooth enabled but the compatible APP for this will be available soon.
A. Yes, KEYA Smart is compatible with the diasend® system.
A. Apps for KEYA Smart are in development for both iOS and Android platforms and will be available soon.
