Abstract The purpose of this investigation was to construct a novel integrated glucose and ketone test strip prototype that could simultaneously provide patients with an accurate reading of their current glucose and ketone concentrations, aiding in detection of the accumulation of ketone bodies after hypoglycemic events, preventing an unexpected onset of acute diabetic ketoacidosis.
