Hematocrit Hemoglobin numbers what do they mean? Glucose meter keto mojo


(George Hernandez) #1


I recently got the new KetoMojo meter and am excited about the lower cost of strips.

I’m at a loss for what the Hematocrit and Hemoglobin numbers mean.
What can i learn from this new data?

What do we think about these number?
Where can i learn about them?
When should one pay attention to them?

These are vital in sport and 43% means you have a good amount of red blood cells

43% is VERY good and shows you have a lot and carry oxygen around. BTW 650% in pro sport was considered to be doping and EPO was used to push these up.

What monitor is this ?

I wonder if its getting the Hbg from the blood and calculating the HCT from it (rule of 3’s). Seems odd that it would be able to measure both.

Short answer to your question is Hemaglobin is the amount of proteins on the red blood cell that enable the cell to carry oxygen/carbon dioxide around. Hematocrit is just he percentage of blood that is composed of red blood cells.

Thanks. This is the Keto Mojo Meter. The screen displayed is the result of a glucose test strip. Ketone strips also available and cheaper that others.

You can actually get them via Jimmy Moore. He is the only one who offers international delivery as far as I know. They are already working on a 2.0 that will do more and iron out any wrinkles so I would be tempted to wait for that one. Although, I think if you get one now you can still take advantage of the lifetime price guarantee on the ketone strips.
