[QUOTE="Robbity, post: 1257246, member: 93179"] I've only ever used the original "traffic lights" standard Ketonix (which is quite adequate for my needs), so can't comment on the new models and their software. Bur as fas as I know (and some bloggers did comparison tests with the original versions) there isn't necessarily any correlation between testing for ketone levels via blood and via breath as they are measuring different chemicals (beta-hydroxybutyrate or acetone). I did a few checks when I got my Freestyle Libre and treated myself to a few expensive ketone test strips, as the reader also measures both ketone and glucose levels, but I didn't find any real consistency between the results from the strips and the Ketonix readings either. (But mine was idle curiosity rather than serious attempts at comparisons... ) Robbity [/QUOTE]
