Ketostix were not invented for the purpose of low carb monitoring of ketosis contrary to some individuals's assumptions. They were originally made to measure metabolic abnormalities such as diabetes, renal glycosuria or other glycogen retention and use diseases. Since the way we use Ketostix on Atkins is really and "off label" use, for the purpose of Atkins, any color change reflects ketosis.
