The strips are over a pound each though.  I tested a lot the first couple of days to check that I was staying in ketosis the whole time.  Since my fasting morning one was always the lowest that's the only one I check now - if that's still reading over 0.3, I am happy (usually it's between 1-2) You need separate strips to test BGs on the same meter.  The BG strips are supplied in little pots, but the keto strips are in flatter cardboard  packs of 10.  Since I have 2 other meters I don't use it for BGs.  My ketometer is invaluable for me, I need the reassurance that I am doing the right things even if my scales (temporarily) don't seem to agree.  For me it's as important as my pedometer used to be in the days when I was doing more than 10,000 steps daily.  I need to know I am getting it right, so it's well worth the money.  Others may not need this reassurance though.</p></blockquote><p></p>
