Blood Ketone Testing Kit, Ketone Meter with 10 Strips | 10 ketone strips, lancing device, 10 lancets, 10-second results, 450-test memory, carrying case

I think it is accurate. I enjoy that it is easy to use. I also enjoyed the low price. The only thing I don't like is the price of additional test strips. The kit only has 10 test strips and 10 lancets.

This is a must for anyone on a keto diet. Very accurate and easy to use.

Make sure you buy a product that has more than just 10 test strips and lancets. I received this kit on March 2. After setting it up, which took me over an hour, it used 2 strips right off the bat. And that was per instructions. They do not give you extra strips or lancets for that. Than another strip was used to test my own blood. Several of the strips gave me an error code: E-4, which meant contaminated strip. So they were useless. And they were straight out of the container! How would they get contaminated? Than several other times it gave an error code: E-5, which means not enough blood sample! WTH! The monitor starts it's countdown to measure your ketones as soon as you touch the strip which does not give you enough time to get enough blood onto the strip. Therefore, it takes off to countdown, and then gives you an error code and no keto measured, which in turn renders that strip useless! So, needless to say, I got to use only a couple of strips that actually measured my ketones. Now I am completely out of strips making the KetoTrak monitor useless to me. If you are not new to using these kinds of monitors for your ketones than it probably is easy for you to figure out how to use them. BUT if you are new, like I am, you will have to read the full User's Manual or you will get lost and not use the monitor correctly resulting in false keto measurements. It took me over an hour to read through it and familiarize myself with the monitor and how to use it. You cannot use the "quick start guide" pamphlet because it is hard to figure out what is going on...even how to get the thing to turn on was a major research! I suggest if you are serious about measuring your ketones to find a better monitor and one that sends more strips and lancets so that you won't run out using them on just the initial setup. (Which you have to do on this gadget every time you buy new strips, you have to recode and all that). I will be returning this KetoTrak monitor.

Great buy especially together

I am a newbie to Keto Dieting. There has been so much hype about keto that I had to do my own research. I read through most of the reviews on the different meters, especially the negative, 1-star, ones. What I found was that even the so called highest rated meter had some sort of issue. So I took a gamble on KetoTrak due to its affordability. I will say I was a little nervous...because at the time of my purchase, Dec 5, 2019, there were only a few reviews on amazon. But after using the kit for nearly a month and surviving the holiday treats, I can honestly say I am extremely happy with my choice. As of the time of this review, I have not had any issues with the Code Chips I’ve used and my readings seem to be within range. No crazy gaps and no issues matching up the Code numbers to the strips. I do try to keep everything organized in the blk case that comes with the kit. Honestly, I drag my meter around with me all day. I’ve dropped a few strips along the way, but I decided not to use in case the strips picked up dirt. I am constantly out and about. This of course causes me to eat out more than I should, but regardless, I have to eat. At least now I can get a visual reading of where my levels are anytime I do. No more guessing how much or how little I should have. I especially like the display feature of my meal averages. With this kit I am able to make better choices moving forward. The KetoTrak system has lived up to my personal expectations. I even picked one up as a white elephant gift. The funny thing was that it was the most sought after gift in the room. In my humble opinion, I would recommend. For me, It works as described and it shipped fast, I had it the next day.

Literally every other test strip gives an error message. The strips are not cheap but you will go through them quickly since you throw half of them away. I am filling the strip with plenty of blood, I can see the strip fill up quickly and fully. In fact, when I do get a reading, the strip fills up just the same as the one’s giving errors. Can’t figure out the problem. I can’t comment on the accuracy of the results that I do get as I haven’t compared this meter to any other test. I can tell I am in ketosis by how I feel and the meter indeed tells me I am at ketosis levels, so I give it a few stars. But if I was to do it all over again I would try another product that gives me less error readings.

Purchased for my type 1 daughter who was away at college. Delivery was prompt.

KetoTrak Blood Ketone Testing Kit – So I decided to go full keto—because carbs betrayed me, and I wanted abs instead of bread. Naturally, I needed a way to track my progress, which is how I ended up with the KetoTrak Blood Ketone Testing Kit. Little did I know, this tiny device would send me on an emotional rollercoaster of self-discovery, mild panic, and finger-stabbing adventures. Step 1: Psyching Myself Up to Draw Blood The kit arrives, and I’m feeling like a scientist. I unpack everything, read the instructions (kind of), and prepare to test my ketones. There’s just one problem—I have to prick my own finger. I stare at the tiny lancet. It stares back. I count down. I hesitate. I count down again. My wife walks in, sees me sweating over a needle the size of a mosquito, and walks out shaking her head. Finally, I gather the courage, jab my finger, and… IT’S NOT THAT BAD. I instantly feel like a warrior. Step 2: The Numbers Don’t Lie I put the blood on the strip, insert it into the meter, and BOOM—my results appear. At first, I don’t know what they mean, so I Google it. Turns out, I’m officially in ketosis. I feel like an elite biohacker, even though five minutes ago I was terrified of a tiny needle. Step 3: The Obsession Begins Now, I can’t stop testing. I start: ✔ Testing first thing in the morning. ✔ Testing after every meal. ✔ Testing after looking at a slice of bread, just to make sure. At one point, I test my ketones so often that my fingers look like a pin cushion, and my wife tells me to stop “playing doctor” and eat my dinner. Final Verdict – A Must-Have for Keto Addicts This kit is super easy to use, surprisingly painless, and makes me feel like a mad scientist tracking my own metabolism. If you’re serious about keto, you need this. Just be prepared for the emotional journey of stabbing yourself daily and celebrating ketone levels like they’re lottery numbers. – Would stab my fingers again.
