Ordered a blood meter


(Allie) #1

I’ve never blood tested before and am happy with my results, just curious. I don’t know if the one I’ve ordered is any good, apparently it measures both ketones and glucose and it’ll be here Monday…

When is the best time to test, or is it an individual thing as so much on keto?

Tested for the first time after work this eve and got a reading of 1.3 which I’m happy with. I’ll try another test in the morning.

Yes, test at different times of the day, that’s what I do. And then you can also test BG after certain foods beginning 30 min after the food and every 30 min thereafter until you get to 2 hours after eating.

Did you get the Keya device?

Just out of curiosity I tested again after training last night and got 0.6
Then tested first thing this morning, literally as soon as I crawled out of bed, and got 1.4
Then again shortly after getting to work, around one hour after my morning keto coffee, and got 2.0 so I’m happy :slight_smile:

Mine is the Accucheck brand. I tested my blood one time. I had recently had the keto taste in the mouth and thought I was doing so great! Test showed 0.3.

I haven’t tested again, preferring the KCKO path. :slight_smile:
