HI Gm, I am doing the blood glucose /
ketone testing with
strips like you (but once / day every 2 days) and have been living with the ketogenic diet full
on since Feb14, I found I couldn't get my blood sugars to go lower than around 4.5 mmol (was trying to get down to Dr Seifreid's recommended 3.6, or at least under 4) after starting the intermittent fasting they really stabilised.
I bought like 100
strips and I just test my
ketones a couple times a week to see where I'm at and I pretty much know where I'm at based
on what I eat because I've tested so many meals.
I use the Abbott Precision Xtra or Precision Xtra and it's — I got blood sugar
on there as well as
ketone strips, too.
I'm not diabetic but I've been getting the keto rash, I went to a walk - in clinic twice for it and the second time I asked the doc for a prescription for the
ketone strips, to keep an eye
on my
ketones, which might help me control the rash.
To perform daily

While this is a very accurate way to test for
ketone bodies, you need to keep a ready supply of test

You can get
ketone urine
strips from the drugstore to see if you are in a ketogenic state at the end of each day, but most people have a hard time cutting back
on carbs to get there.
At any rate, urine
ketone strips aren't all that accurate, even when you do use them
on the spot, not months later.
I am drinking almost a gallon of water / day, using the Cronometer app to balance my macro ratios, but I am still only small
ketones while the other two members of my family that are doing this with me are always in moderate to large
ketone range
on urine
strips (we are essentially eating the same meals).
I couldn't see any
ketones on my urine
strips but then I tried the blood meter and was quite surprised.
You can use a blood
ketone monitor like the one here, a breath
ketone meter that measures the acetate
on your breath or you can test with urine test
strips.
So people go and drink this stuff and pee
on the
strip and see
ketones.
