What are popular Ketone Meters here in 2025?

I just don’t find anything “certain”, including gadgets, and I understood lfod’s opinion and respect it.

Yes, I agree completely with this Susan. no need to test at all really, if the carbs are low.

When I occasionally do multiple day fasts, say at least 72 hours or more I do sometimes measure them with my Keto-Mojo meter, just to see what’s happening out of curiosity. I always start out low, but get a high ketone level after a few days. Glucose says normal, but dips a little towards the end. GKI ratio only gets ‘good’ after the ‘few days’ too. This is all very very consistent, so I might stop testing while fasting too.

I’ve been testing and recently my morning ketones went from 0.2-04 mmol/l and blood sugar of around 110 to 0.8-0.9 mmol/l and blood sugar around 100. I started taking copper (2mg/pill), most days, and also inulin (a prebiotic fiber). Unfortunately, I started them both around the same time.

I’m interesting in why this is and when I stop taking Inulin or copper what will happen.

Hi Bob, that’s what I do on occasion, is start, or stop more than one thing to see if it makes a difference :sweat_smile: I can look back but seems like you use the keto mojo. I think if I go for it, I’ll choose a really popular one, more money. I spent a bit more on my Fitbit, but absolutely love it, even though I don’t use ever bell & whistle on it.

I started buying small bags of Avocados, and eating one a day. I know I am getting enough fiber, fats, protein. I did buy potassium & magnesium capsules but I don’t take them every day. One thing I have that is painful, is cramping in my feet. I have other cramps as well but not that wake me up groaning. The muscle issues are related to another issue I have, but the magnesium seems to remedy those cramps if I remember to take it :wink:

I’m eating more carbs, 20-25 in the avocados (that’s weighing with skin still on) so today I’ll see how much w/o skin. I am changing the subject here, but don’t want to make another thread. I also want to take my T2 blood glucose to make sure it’s not spiking, and staying high for too long, denise

LOL, I like how you misspelled my name:grin: I have misspelled it as well sometimes and always laugh at it as I found if I transpose letters I get Densie, and that is me a lot of the time:face_with_hand_over_mouth:

There’s another vote for the Mojo, that’s the one I’ll try if I decide to get one :wink: I’ll also look at the other types you list, GreenWon, and GKI :+1: denise
