2020/03/05 Updates. Posting data for meals and glucose as I accumulate it during the day. I will simply overwrite the linked glucose plot as I update it during the day rather than post additional plots.

Day’s Meal Summary
Today’s glucose plot is more what I expected initially. So maybe the sensor was reading high the first couple of days while ‘breaking in’.
Just in the couple of days I’ve been using this device, I find the data very interesting and I see ways to utilize it that never occurred before. I am even more convinced that monitoring glucose is probably more significant than monitoring ketones. Although I think it’s still a good idea to use some measure of ketones to confirm ketosis daily.
2020/03/05 11:45 Well, this is very interesting, indeed! I just had a dizzy spell that lasted maybe a couple of minutes. It was enough to prompt me to hold onto my desk to make sure I didn’t fall over. I’m still not feeling quite back to normal and I’m going to lie down for a few minutes. Just checked the following:
BrAce: 14.1 ppm
Lumen: 3
Glucose: 5.2 mmol/L
So I’m in ketosis, burning fat and within the normal range of glucose. Not what I would expect to result in a dizzy spell. For those not following my Lumen discussion, you can see what I think the Lumen reading actually means here. I don’t get dizzy much. I can’t remember the last time it happened.
PS: Actually, I have a suspect. Low blood pressure. I’ve enjoyed blood pressure all my life on the low side of the normal range. I think sodium controls blood pressure and yesterday, while I drank my electrolytes (sodium) during my work shift, I did not consume any more at home. So I suspect my sodium is a bit low today so far. I’ll bump it up today to see if that fixes it.
Here are my recent numbers. Gaps from a sensor error show up, and bad sleep on the 3rd skewed things.

Any way to get this in the US without a prescription? So annoyed because I just came back from Italy twice in the last month and forgot all about getting one while I was there, ugh. I think that is one of the few countries that uses the same 80-100 count the US does instead of MMOL which would be too much for me to deal with
No. You have to have a prescription. But maybe your doctor will have you one

Note: This was an interesting overnight experience related to IF. See here for a discussion.
PS: I got in 3 meals today, but still ended up 600 calories short of my daily target. I had planned to drink a creamy bone broth nightcap when I got home, but couldn’t get out of Walmart soon enough to do so. Crazy busy today. Managed to hit my fat/protein macros bang on and carbs just a smidgen more than 5 grams. I finished my last meal at work at 18:30 so I’ll get in another 14 - 15 hour fast by the time I have my morning keto coffee.
Fascinating. I also just purchased the same meter from Shoppers in Lynn Valley.
I will be reading your thread in far greater detail and with keen interest when I have more time, i.e. at work, LOL. It will be interesting to compare our results, since I was pre-diabetic, believe I am still strongly insulin resistant and my carb consumption is less controlled than yours. Certainly my morning glucose bumps up higher than yours in the morning.
PS with a BG of less than 3.5 most Doc’s would have a heart attack and immediately send you to hospital. The power of ketones!

@amwassil - since you’re at the end of the 14 day life of the sensor, do you feel like getting another to try more things or do you think you’re done? Did you learn what you wanted to learn?
(Disclaimer - I think I recall someone saying it’s a 14 day life) 
@CFLBob The sensor indeed has a 14-day lifespan and it costs me $100 at my local London Drugs. I intend to purchase again, but not immediately. I want to investigate whether I can purchase at a cheaper price elsewhere.
I have a few other things in mind to try. For one, I would like to try to correlate the glucose with my Lumen, to see if that is any more useful than my attempt to correlate BrAce with the Lumen.
