Blood Ketone Monitoring System Set: Single Meter +50 Ketone Test Strips, 10 Lancets (30G), 1 Lancing Device, 2 Batteries, a Instructions for Use, 1 Logbook, 1 Carrying Case

Great tool to monitor ketones. Works well when monitoring if you’re in ketosis. We wish we would have ordered more of the monitor strips when we initially ordered this item.

This is my first time trying keto and using this device lets me know how I’m doing and if I’m successfully getting into ketosis (my first 2 weeks of keto were based on urine strips, which were inconsistent and did not seem accurate). I read reviews of several similar devices before deciding on this one as others frequently had reviews for inconsistent test results and even failure to determine the correct results of the test/control fluid. I like that this device only checks ketones, which makes it a little cheaper than other options, and the test strips come with lancets at minimal extra cost. The device is easy to use and I like that the company stresses hygiene and safety precautions. The testing is virtually painless thanks to the lancing device it comes with (I would not be able to jab myself with a needle so painlessly). And the strip itself requires very little blood. The results seem very consistent and I am learning to gauge how eating specific foods will affect my ketone levels.

Got this for my son he has Type One diabetes it is accurate and he prefers it over the urine test strips. I appreciate that I can check his ketones when he's ill without making him get up to pee

Overall I like this meter, I have nothing to compare it to since it's the only one I've ever owned. I did a lot of research and comparing before I bought it.. Here are a couple things I have learned after owning it for a few weeks.-Test strips are expensive, regardless of the meter you buy but I have noticed that ketosens strips are on the cheaper side compared to others. I learned to test once before I eat/drink anything in the day (but after I've been awake for at least an hour- blood sugar can spike in the morning when you wake) and then before dinner at night if I feel like it.-I wish that this meter came with controls, other meters come with the quality controls but this meter costs another $14 for them to come separate and you would need to use up 2 of your strips for the QC.-This meter requires a very small amount of blood and the lancet pen has a variety of depths which is awesome, I hardly even feel the stick.-Quick results! The whole process takes me about one minute start to finish.-The price point is great to get started, less than $50 to test 10 times is worth it especially when you're trying to get back into ketosis.-Does not check blood sugar but that is not the purpose I bought it for.I would recommend this meter for a casual keto-er who wants to check in daily or weekly to see how they're doing from a more reliable source.*Note that I have been keto on and off for about 2 years and prior to this just used the urine strips intermittently. However, and this is interesting, I recently learned that the ketones that show up in your urine are actually just an "overflow" of what your body isn't using for fuel, not an actual reflection of your overall state of ketosis.

I've been low carb for 18 years after a type 2 diabetes diagnosis. I've been in remission since the diet switch. I have let my diet and exercise slide a bit in the last six months and decided to get in better shape with more exercise and lose some weight. I test often with my Next glucose meter but have never tested for ketones. I got this meter on a whim and have been very happy with its performance. The readings are very stable and consistent with what and when I've eaten. I typically run between 1.5 to 3.0 on this ketone meter. If you're used to a glucose meter this ketone meter will be a snap. The strips don't need much blood and you get a reading in about 8 seconds. I haven't had any strip meter errors so far. Things that are mildly annoying is the meter is on the larger side, the strips are expensive at about a $1 each, and each strip is individually wrapped and requires scissor to remove easily. None of these items are a deal breaker for me and I would definitely buy this meter again.

Awesome product! Works wonderfully! Comes with everything you need and good easy to follow instructions. It's a very accurate meter. I use it daily. You cannot beat this price!

easy to use

I bought a unit that didn't work the sent a new one and works fine and sticks are not expensive
