Picked up ketones in my funky keto breath
So I recently started keto again. #NewYearsResolution. I've been on and off over the last year because I just couldn't stay motivated. So I decided to get a ketone breath meter. I used to have a blood meter but needles freak me out. Plus the strips are quite expensive. This meter uses the ketones found in your funky keto breath. I'm not sure of the accuracy as I don't have anything to compare to. The first time I did a reading, it said 0.00 ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ turns out I did it wrong. When you blow, you have to make sure there is a perfect seal around the mouth piece. And you need to blow hard, but not too hard. When I did it the second time, it chimed differently after the 'blow' period. So I definitely did it wrong the first time. My second reading picked up ketones. The one thing I don't like is the countdown time. Every time you do a new reading, it counts down from 20 which seems really excessive. I'll keep logging my results to see if there's any change. And if I get a chance to compare to a different meter, I will update this review. But so far, seems to work.

Blow harder to get a reading
When I first got it, I was blowing into it and kept coming up 0.0 think I wasn't in ketosis yet, but after about 4-5 times getting the same reading I figured there must be something wrong with the unit. I was starting to think there was something wrong with the unit and decided to give it another try, but this time I blew a lot harder than before, that's when I heard another beep telling me I was good and finally got a reading of 1.4 signifying I was in ketosis. Now after waiting the 20 second warmupi blow into the unit until I hear another beep telling me I was good, and then would get a reading. So, if your having problems getting a reading try blowing harder until you hear another beep to get a reading, works Everytime now.

After purchasing this one, I would try a different Keton meter.
This Ketone meter is very fussy. It also goes the two (2) twenty second cycles each time you want to use it. I assume it is accurate, after you wait the extra 20 second for it to get ready for it to be used.

Nice color changes - but wasn't worth the money
Didn't care for the mouthpiece to be on the opposite side of the READINGS window.Couldn't see the screen when your blowing in.Mouth piece thingy fits loose, it falls out easily. Frustrating.Didn't like the accuracy.Measurements of 2.5 twice then 1.5 then 4 0.0 in a row.When it worked, it seemed ok. LOVE the color screen..but that wasn't enough for me.Believe it or not, I prefer the urine test strips over this.I had got this because I was using a blood ketone/glucose monitor..but the cost was getting me.BUT, I didn't care for the little frustrations and the unpredictability of this thing (among the other things I mentioned)Sent it back.

Works well if you follow the directions!
I'm glad I thoroughly read the little instruction manual. Make sure you blow hard enough and long enough. Also, don't have anything to eat or drink 30 mins before testing.

helpful meter
Threw in some batteries and gave it a blow. and it looks pretty accurate. since im always in ketosys. Ill need to test on someone thats not. I am out of blood strips since this was about the same price as more strips I thought I would give it a shot. It will be nice to not buy the expensive strips and no more finger pricks.. And the pee sticks never worked for me

Worked great for a while
This worked great for two weeks then just started showing crazy high levels so I returned it.
