  Low Carb Luxury: Looking for Purple - Ketostix
Questions about ketones, ketosis, KetoStix, and its implications and misconceptions have always been one of the most common querries at Low Carb Luxury.
Depending on the plan you follow and whether you are new to this way of life, or an old timer from the 70's, you'll be referring to them as one name or another if your plan calls for being in Ketosis.
The original — Ketostix by Bayer — is the most common and the easiest to find in most pharmacies.

 Ketostix
To test for ketones the test is done by placing a small amount of urine on a test stick called a Uristix or Ketostix.
When it has even a small amount of urine on it, you use a 3 cc or 5cc syringe and suck up the urine into the syringe from the cotton 2x2.
You can also use a cotton cotton ball that is saturated and squeeze the urine onto the Ketostix.

Testing the urine with a test stick, paper strip, or tablet that changes color when sugar is present is not as accurate as blood testing, however it can give a fast and simple reading.
Ketones in the urine can be detected using similar types of dipstick tests (Acetest or Ketostix).
Ketoacidosis can be a life-threatening situation in Type I diabetics, so having a quick and simple test to detect ketones can assist in establishing a diagnosis sooner.
