DKA- Type 1 Diabetic Daughter promotes XactBHB Test Strips

Diabetic XactBHB Test Strips 

Dr. Frank Puglisi and Dr. Tom Meitz developed XactBHB urine strips, tests for elevated beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) levels in urine and saved my daughter's life! Together they have created XactBHB®, the first and only non-invasive urine Beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) test for people with Diabetes. Detecting BHB (the predominant ketone) is imperative for understanding if you or your loved one is heading into Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA). Current urine ketone strips test for acetoacetate, which tells only a portion of the story regarding DKA. The American Diabetes Association (ADA) advises against using the current urine acetoacetate ketone test strips. Blood BHB is the preferred standard, but high cost and the pain of additional finger pricks limit its use. XactBHB® strips offer a non-invasive, lower cost in detecting BHB the predominant ketone) for DKA monitoring. XactBHB®: · FDA registered Class I medical device · Extended shelf-life---up to 3 years with bottle cap sealed · Available at www.xactbhbtest.com XactBHB® offers TWO options for showing test results: 1.	Dip strip in urine and then match color to bottle after 90 seconds 2.	And/or download the XactBHB app (free in Apple store). After 90 seconds the app will automatically take a picture of the XactBHB® test strip to provide a numeric value of BHB mmol/L Prominent Endocrinologist, Dr. Steven Edelman: There is a definite unmet need for easy, accessible and affordable measurement of BHB by the end user…folks living with type 1 diabetes primarily to detect early impending DKA! We encourage you to discuss with your endocrinologist or life care provider! Visit and order at https://www.xactbhbtest.com

Friends Village: Where Purpose Meets Community

Friends Village

Friends Village offers community living rooted in purpose, belonging and choice. Blending Quaker values and active aging, we promote connection and care for one another. Our residents live well, engaged with the wider world and confident they will have support should they need it. Located on two campuses, Friends Village provides independent living and personal care in peaceful settings embedded in residential neighborhoods. Our Paxson Campus is in the heart of Newtown Borough, close to shops, dining and local events. Our Styer Campus, on Lower Dolington Road, boasts raised-bed gardens and walking paths for resident enjoyment. The full calendar of resident-informed programming features lectures, wellness classes, discussion groups and cultural events to promote residents’ intellectual, physical and social well-being. If needed, Friends Village provides our residents with flexible, affordable support in their own apartments through its NeighborCare program. By using our long-tenured and dedicated staff, it is a home care service without the onerous minimum hours or uncertain staffing of agencies. And if care needs increase further, personal care is available in our historic Paxson Hall. What truly sets Friends Village apart is the warm sense of community. While residents remain connected outside of our walls, our small size and intentional approach ensure that each resident is known and know that they genuinely belong – they thrive, make new friends and live well.
