Hi all,
I hope you had a great weekend. I`m an entrepreneur based in Japan developing smart sensors for advanced ketone detection. I got involved in this area after one of my friends was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. I`d be very grateful to ask a few questions on checking ketones:
1. Roughly how many times a week would you say you check your ketone levels, and how? (test strips/blood reader/breath analyzer)
2. If you don`t check your *blood* ketones, why? Is it because urine strips are good enough, or because of the cost, or because you are already drawing blood for glucose checking and don't want to do this again for ketones?
3. If there was a convenient way to test the same ketones as a blood reader (BHB) through your urine for significantly less cost, would that be of interest? Why/why not?
Thank you so much!
Daniel
