1.	Hypoglycemia (Reactive Hypoglycemia) 01/01/1976 - "Despite this, Dextrostix remains a very useful method of screening for neonatal hypoglycemia, whether assessed by eye or with the new Dextrostix-Eyetone meter. " 03/01/1999 - "Among study prematures, 35% had hypoglycemia; while the incidence was 9% at levels of Dextrostix <20 mg%. " 10/01/1988 - "This article reports two studies that replicate previous investigations of the effectiveness of Chemstrip bG, Dextrostix and Visidex for making nursing assessments of hypoglycemia in the newborn. " 03/01/1999 - "We examined 1,500 preterm infants (<37 weeks of gestational age) consecutively admitted between January 1994 and December 1996 at the Department of Pediatrics of Padua University, and screened for hypoglycemia by Dextrostix within the first hour of life. " 01/01/1997 - "Significantly higher risk of hypoglycemia (Dextrostix < 40 and < 20 mg%) was found in twins vs singletons (54% vs 32%, OR 2.49, CI 1.77-3.56; 19% vs 8%, OR 2.65, CI 1.59-4.19, respectively). "
2.	Ketosis 05/01/1983 - "The second aim of our study was to provide for the patient a precise scheme of insulin supplements administered via the pump and based on blood glucose monitoring (Dextrostix - Glucometer) and semi-quantitative evaluation of ketonuria (Acetest). " 01/01/1980 - "We have studied the impact of home blood glucose measurements with the Ames Dextrostix/Eyetone system on the metabolic control of 17 insulin-dependent, ketosis-prone, unstable diabetic patients. "
3.	Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (Autoimmune Diabetes) 05/01/1978 - "Home blood glucose monitoring, using Dextrostix and an Eyetone meter, has been utilized in several subcategories of patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. " 08/01/1978 - "Pilot study of self-measurement of blood glucose using the Dextrostix-Eyetone system for juvenile-onset diabetes."
4.	Diabetes Mellitus 03/01/1973 - "[Proceedings: Use of the enzymatic determination of glycemia with the Dextrostix-Reflectance Meter in mass screening for diabetes mellitus]." 09/01/1977 - "The Dextrostix-Eyetone method is a reliable means of confirming or refuting the clinical diagnosis of hypoglycaemia and is useful in the day-to-day management of diabetes mellitus in situations where insulin dosage requirements are varying and where access to clinical laboratory facilities are not readily available."
5.	Sepsis (Septicemia) 12/01/1979 - "Guidelines for the use of Dextrostix for monitoring blood glucose levels and a protocol for hyperalimentation in patients with sepsis are suggested."
