Tips for getting the best results from a breath ketone meter. When to test and when not to test. Certain foods will give erratic readings if you test too soon after eating. Alcohol is a no, no and don't smoke for 30 minutes before testing as tar will kill the sensor.

I have the exact same type of "ketone meter" (got it cheap from Amazon for $35). Been using it daily, through a 5 day water fasting period, where I could see the reading from 0.2 all the way to 9.9 mmol/l and then back down after breaking the fast. One thing you didn't mention is that It only measures the bottom 5 seconds of the 10 seconds blowing period, make sure the end blow is strong and consistent.

Very nice video very informative, I just want to ask regarding the sensor, can the sensor be cleaned? like after 1month of use can you clean the sensor or is the sensor not already accurate after how many months of use? thanks .

I do strict carnivore and mine reads between 20-26 every morning upon waking up. Blood reads .5 when I take it immediately after using the breath

Mine doesn’t show any decimal point, shows 020 What does this mean?

I just got mine and tested it through four times. I keep getting a read light after blowing. Am I doing something wrong?

I have never blown over .99, no matter what I do. I came here looking to see if that is the cap but y'all are saying 3.0 - 9.9, I know it registers differences because my partner blows between .50 and .85 and it's different daily. Mine has been .99 daily for weeks. I don't want a blood meter, not interested in pricking daily to test. This seemed perfect.

I have been on a keto diet for about a year with no no help except what I have found on YouTube. I wanted the meter to see if my diet was working. So far I have had no trouble in blowing a score from 25 to 35, with 20 to 39 being optimal in the instruction manuel. As the manuel points, don't test right after a meal or an alcoholic beverage. Also don't take a deep breath before you blow because all you will do is measure the air around you.

Any thoughts on how to clean it? Mine seems contaminated. I ran it without blowing into it at least 10 times and still have a high reading.

Mine was great - I used it to the record, no misuse at all. Now it has started to play up. It is giving readings when I don't blow into it! I have tried to clear it as suggested. It has not been used by anyone else. I have changed the batteries. I have contacted the company. But just wondered if anyone else has had this problem.

Mine works just fine. It may not be the machine if you are not getting a good reading.

can you help? I've tried mine 100 times all readings are 0.00. Also I've tested everyone in my large family. All 0.00 readings. Also I regularly fast i eat once a day. For the last 8 years.

Does not work. Show all the time 9.95 after 20 hours fasting or hour after eating.
