Nova Max Diabetes Testing Supplies

Nova Max makes daily glucose monitoring straightforward with test strips, control solution, and ketone strips that work together as one system. For anyone managing diabetes at home, the appeal is simple: fast results, small blood samples, and the ability to check both glucose and ketones when it matters most.

The Nova Max Glucose Test Strips (43437) are the everyday workhorse here, designed to pair with Nova Max meters for reliable blood sugar readings. Because a meter is only as trustworthy as its accuracy, the Nova Max Normal Control Solution (49640) lets you verify that your strips and meter are reading correctly — a step worth doing when you open a new vial, suspect a bad reading, or drop your meter. Testing your system periodically is one of the easiest ways to catch a problem before it affects your care decisions.

What sets this line apart is ketone monitoring on the same platform. The Nova Max Plus Ketone Test Strip (53493) delivers results in about 10 seconds from a tiny 0.8 µL blood sample, giving people with diabetes a way to check for ketones at home rather than relying only on urine strips. That matters during illness, high blood sugar episodes, or any time you're watching for signs of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), when catching rising ketones early can be critical.

A common question buyers have is whether strips are interchangeable — they aren't. Nova Max glucose strips and Nova Max Plus ketone strips are formulated for the Nova Max system, so keep both on hand if you monitor ketones as well as glucose. Store strips in their sealed vial away from heat and humidity, and check the expiration date, since expired or exposed strips can skew results.
