Abstract
Summary: A simple method of estimating the plasma ‘ketone’ level with ‘Acetest’ tablets has been used in the diagnosis and treatment of diabetic acidosis. The method is valuable when used in association with full biochemical facilities, but it is especially useful in situations where these cannot be easily obtained.Keywords
