How the Keto Blood Test Monitor WorksUpdated a day ago
Overview
The Keto Blood Test Monitor is a manual (non-Bluetooth) blood testing device designed to measure blood ketone levels and blood glucose levels using compatible test strips. It allows you to check your metabolic state while following a ketogenic or low-carbohydrate diet.
This device is intended for self-monitoring, not medical diagnosis.
What This Monitor Measures
The device can measure:
Blood ketones (using ketone test strips)
Blood glucose (using glucose test strips)
Each measurement requires a specific test strip designed for that purpose.
What Is Included (Important)
The Keto Blood Test Monitor package includes:
Blood test meter (non-Bluetooth)
Lancing device
Starter lancets (limited quantity)
User instructions
What Is Not Included
❗ The following items are not included and must be purchased separately:
Test strips
You must purchase 25× ketone test strips and/or 25× glucose test strips depending on what you want to measure
Additional lancets
Replacement lancets are required once the included lancets run out
The monitor will not work without test strips.
How the Monitor Is Used (High Level)
Insert the appropriate test strip into the meter
Use a lancet to obtain a small blood sample
Apply the blood to the test strip
Read the result displayed on the screen
(For step-by-step instructions, refer to the user manual.)
Why People Use Blood Testing on Keto
Blood testing is commonly used to:
Check whether the body is producing ketones
Track changes during keto adaptation
Understand how food, fasting, or routines affect ketone or glucose levels
It provides objective data, rather than relying on symptoms alone.
What This Does Not Mean
The device does not diagnose medical conditions
Readings do not replace medical advice
Results vary between individuals and over time
Higher or lower numbers do not guarantee weight loss outcomes
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Ordering the monitor without ordering test strips
Using the wrong type of strip for the test
Running out of lancets and being unable to test
Expecting Bluetooth or app connectivity (this model is non-Bluetooth)
When to Purchase Extras
You may need to purchase:
More test strips if you test regularly
Additional lancets once the included supply runs out
Planning ahead helps avoid gaps in testing.
