Hello, first time posting here. I’ve been low carb (mostly) for years, started experimenting with keto last year and purchased a Sport (red) Ketonix. This week I just cannot get a positive reading on the thing despite religiously keeping carbs low. I also had my period this week so hormones could be at play, but I am so frustrated. Anyone know if there is a life span for the Ketonix? I’ve used it a lot, I get a kick out of seeing it flash green, and now that it just will NOT I think I’m in withdrawal.

Couple of things: have you been allowing it to both warm up before use AND burn off after use (leave it on for a while after use)? The second part seems easy to miss, but supposedly effects performance as it needs to properly burn off remnants from your breath for a bit.
However, I did notice the one I have (also a sport, of the old, pre 2015 days) became less reliable after a while, which usually meant it never got past the warm up phase or would not register anything at all. It would work on and off for a while.
I actually don’t know where mine is at the moment though and haven’t tested it in a while.

My dog ate the first one before it wore out (it was over a year old). I’ve had a new one for about a year, and it seems to be working OK still.
