The need for blood ketone meters escalated during the COVID-19 pandemic, as both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes patients were exposed to a high risk of illness. According to the statistics from the Primary Care Diabetes Society, ketone monitoring should not be delayed during this COVID-19 pandemic as people with pre-existing medical illnesses such as diabetes, asthma, and heart disease are at high risk of COVID-19 infection. As a result, the need for a blood ketone meter grew, as blood ketone levels must be measured every 4 to 6 hours.

Key Challenges

Blood ketone meters are highly advanced equipment, which may occasionally result in technical defects, inconsistent readings, and other difficulties, which may result in product recalls.

As a result, growing product recalls by government authorities are projected to stymie the growth of the blood ketone meter market in the near future. For example, in November 2019, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued the recall of Abbott Laboratories’ Precision Xtra Blood Glucose & Ketone Monitoring System. The product was recalled due to an error in the instruction letter.
