Blood Ketone Meter Kit

Exactly what I was looking for, easy to understand instruction and worked perfectly right out of the box with no issues. I was very reasonably priced - but the test strips are pricy - I tested my ketones every 3 days at first then every 5 days afterwards ... only because the strips are pricey I was 100% satisfied. sp much better and more accurate that the urine strips Highly recommended to monitor your progress

Urine test strips made me want to scratch my head -- but I couldn't because one hand was clutching the bottle with the color guide while the other was holding the used strip. Every time, the best I walked away with was...a good guess. Breath analyzers were a joke. Depending on how hard I blew, I would get readings anywhere from 0.5 to 8.9 -- within a 5 min time frame. What? Sure, I could probably, eventually train myself to blow consistently, but how do I know what "breath strength" will give me the right readings? So I finally caved and splurged on this blood meter. Blood meters are the most expensive option, since I'll likely have to buy blood test strips and lancets forever...or for as long as I stick to the Keto diet, anyway. But I'd rather pay more for something that's accurate and consistent than save money on things that might or might not work, right? I was able to open the box and get the whole shebang going within a minute. The directions were simple and easy to follow (a bit redundant, though, to have the quick start guide AND the owner's manual AND the paper insert, all with the exact same instructions). And, thank goodness, they're in perfect, easy-to-understand English and not in size 2 font (I hate instruction manuals that come in teeny tiny print!). The lancet holder was intuitive to lock & load, the test strips were in a secure capsule, the meter itself only needed batteries (included) to get up and running, loading the test strip into the meter was simple, and... really, what took the longest was trying to guess which number setting to use with the lancet to draw enough blood without hurting myself, then actually gathering the courage to do the deed. I started at 2, but it wasn't strong enough to draw any blood, so I took a deep breath, moved the dial to 3, and...click! Second time was the charm. Perfect little drop of blood, and absolutely NO pain at all. I'd worried for nothing! Placed the blood drop against the strip, heard a beep, waited 10 seconds, and - voila - a clear reading of 2.9, exactly where I wanted to and should have been. This is my first time using a blood meter, so I don't have a basis of comparison with other brands and models, but KetoBM definitely does exactly what I need it to do. It even saves your last 180 readings, including time and date of the readings. And bonus -- everything comes neatly packed in a handy, compact storage case. No guesswork, no head scratching, no straining my eyes at a tiny pee stick trying to compare one shade of mauve to a slightly darker shade of mauve, no blowing into a breath meter to the point of dizziness, trying and trying again only to get 10 different readings. Just load, lock, prick, and...done! Why didn't I get this blood meter sooner?

This is a great tool! Easy to use and so helpful with ! Comes with both glucose and ketone tests. The app has video tutorials on how to use. So much better than the urine tests!

Easy enough to use however, the app is very hit and miss with downloading results. It does not log Ketone readings at all, (I was able to get 2 logged, that’s all), and Glucose readings are inconsistently recorded. There was absolutely no information included with the device about the app. I only found out about it by reading reviews and had to search for it in the App Store. It’s almost like they don’t want you to use the app. Anyway, it could be better. Replacement Glucose and Ketone strips are very expensive and it’s isn’t unusual to get Error messages, necessitating the use of another new strip. Make sure you get enough blood, it requires more than you think you need.

Was impressed with the initial low cost. However, setup of date/time was not well explained and could only be setup in 24 military time and not normal 12/12 time. Next to date/time button was a switch and I spent 10 minutes trying to figure out its purpose only to find in small fine print on bottom of instruction page that switch is useless and ignore it. Wow, poor engineering to be sure. I inserted batteries and set up time and date and proceeded to test my keto level. Ok, here is where it goes very wrong! I proceeded to do my first test. The test went well and a 10 second countdown commenced and I received my keto reading of 6.4! 6.4, their graph in their paperwork went up to high of 5.0! I researched this number to learn that I was in danger of keto acidosis and should seek emergency medical help immediately! I could collapse and go into a coma! I was shocked and decided to do another test. Shortly thereafter I performed a second test only to find it incredibly went up even higher to 7.1! I was on the verge of going to the hospital although I felt fine. I did some more quick research and decided to do a 3rd test. After the 3rd test my level was 2.1. What a relief as I didn’t have any of the symptoms and felt fine. I can’t tell you how much this shook me up! I also remember seeing in the reviews that one complaint was the meter gave different readings, I’m here to confirm this. DO NOT buy this product. I purchased the Keto Mojo. While it cost more it has both glucose and keto readings and the company has a long excellent reputation and good customer support and most importantly a keto/glucose meter that gives consistent accurate readings. It also has a great phone app which works flawlessly. Hope my disaster helps someone. Good luck!

I've been on ketogenic diet for the last 2 years, and have used a few different meters. This one is my favorite so far. It's accurate ( images one and two show my morning ketone readings 9 min apart), easy to use and test strips are reasonably priced. Test strips itself are high quality and absorb blood sample very fast, this helps prevent error readings and waste of strips. To avoid "E02" error do not touch arrow area of the strip when inserting it in the meter. {The seller's video shows how to do this ) The meter doesn't need to be calibrated or coded. I bought another meter as a gift to my friend ,who wants to try Keto diet.I decided to check how new one works. Very close results on the image were taken from the same drop of blood. Update: before KetoBM one of the meters I used was Keto-Mojo . ( KetoBM is easier to use especially for a new user) I compared them both and got identical results from the same drop of blood.

My first ketone Meter. I use it for myself and occasionally with patients. It’s easy to use. The instructions and scale provided are accurate and simple to follow. The blood keto levels provided is as accurate as the scale I use in the hospital. Great product.

When I bought this device to test my ketones (keto diet), I wasn't entirely convinced I wasn't wasting my money on a "curiosity." I mean, urine strips are more cost effective and easier to obtain, blah, blah, blah. With that being said... I figured if diabetics were given instruction to test their *blood* (not urine) for ketones, then I would trust the science and physician recommendation. I purchased it about 2 weeks into starting keto and I am super, super glad I did. I had been eating the general recommendation of <20g of carbs per day. My first test result? 6.2. Talk about frightening! It took me a week to get myself down to a healthy/nutritional ketone level. I realized how much easier it made my life and has been absolutely instrumental in successfully figuring out not just the keto diet, but also how *my* body responds to certain foods. Additionally, by knowing my levels, I know if I can have a *little* cheat. Is the keto diet restrictive? Yes. However, knowing your ketone levels gives you some of that much needed occasional wiggle room. I honestly could not imagine trying to do the keto diet without it ever again. Using this device helped me find my body's carb "sweet spot" (~30g). This device is absolutely vital to a successful journey on keto. I HIGHLY recommend it. My review for this device: It's the first I've used, so I have no basis for comparison. That being said, the set-up was simple with easy-to-follow instructions. The display is large and easy to read. As for accuracy: Again, I'm going to trust physicians. If they trust a blood monitor result, I am too.

Werkt goed.

Ich hatte am Anfang Probleme mit der Messung. Nachdem ich reklamiert hatte, bekam ich umgehend und anstandslos eine neues kit zugeschickt, dass jetzt einwandfrei funktioniert und problemlos zu handhaben ist. Sehr guter Kundenservice.

I really like this product, the only reason i'm not saying it's 5/5 for accuracy is because nothings ever 100% accurate. I've read a few reviews on here and those reviewers are confused... You only need to check once a day at most, if you check multiple times in 10 minutes it will change, that's because no number will stay the same for any length of time in regards to keto levels, glucose levels etc... They will always fluctuate, even if there was a perfect way to test ketone levels, it would also fluctuate if you checked multiple times, whether that be in 10 minutes or through out the day. Get the kit, it's a good kit and as long as you're not obessive over the numbers and test multiple times a day you'll get a fantastic idea on where you are in your ketosis journey.

Attention, ne faites pas la même erreur que moi : c’est un lecteur de cétones, PAS de glycémie. Donc si vous cherchez à suivre votre taux de sucre, passez votre chemin, ça ne fonctionnera pas pour ça. Cela dit, je l’ai gardé quand même, parce qu’il fonctionne très bien, il est précis, rapide, compact, et la petite pochette fournie est super pratique : tout est bien rangé, facile à emporter partout. Très bon produit si vous suivez un régime cétogène ou surveillez vos cétones pour des raisons médicales. Je recommande sans hésiter. ⸻ ✅ Mesure précise des cétones ✅ Format compact et facile à transporter ✅ Pochette très bien conçue ✅ Facile à utiliser, tout est fourni (lancettes, bandelettes, autopiqueur) ❌ Ne mesure pas la glycémie ! (vraiment, non 😅)

Ottimo. Le strisce sono 10. Ricomprarle costano troppo
