The Best Overall Glucose Meter
Nova Max Plus incorporates advanced technology for accurate and precise self-monitoring of blood glucose and ketones by people with diabetes. Nova Max Plus has the most comprehensive features for fast, easy, and error-free blood glucose and ketone monitoring.
Glucose and Ketones on the Same Meter
The Nova Max Plus Glucose Meter automatically converts itself to a Ketone meter by inserting the Nova Max Plus Ketone strip.
Why Ketone Measurements Are Important
- Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) is a life-threatening metabolic complication of diabetes with a mortality rate of 2%-10%1
- DKA is the leading cause of hospitalization, morbidity, and death in children with type 1 diabetes 2
- The use of a blood test for early detection of increased blood ketone levels can help to avert DKA3,4,5
- According to the ADA, blood ketone testing should be performed on sick days and whenever glucose is greater than 250-300 mg/dL.

No Coding Needed
Miscoded meters can lead to glucose errors as large as 50%.
No Maltose Error
Nova Max Plus prevents falsely elevated glucose results due to non glucose sugars in the blood such as maltose. Test strips that use the glucose dehydrogenase PQQ methodology can have glucose errors due to maltose, galactose and xylose. Nova Max does not have these interferences since it does not employ the glucose dehydrogenase PQQ methodology. *
