@nicolarse01: I believe that testing breath ketones also shows real-time ketone values. But we're not actually testing ketones for ketoacidosis, but for dietary ketosis to see if we're in fat burning mode as opposed to using carbohydrates for our energy. This is a completely natural process and not at all dangerous, and some type 2s check for ketosis when using a very low carb (LCHF) diet to help control glucose levels.

Sat: -
BS level: 6.4
Ketonix: yellow (and very slow)

Today:-
BS level: 6.8
Ketonix: yellow (and very slow again)

@Pasha - is your Ketonix the sports version or the standard one?

BS: 7.3 (early p.m. and ill)
Ketonix: yellow (and still needing a long slow lungful of puffing...)

Hi Robbity, sorry to hear that you are feeling unwell and hope you have a speedy recovery.

My Ketonix is the latest model, 2015, shows the results as % [ of scale ] colours and number of blinks in each colour band.

Hope this answers your question.

There is no reason that it couldn't be. Remember only suckers early-adopt this stuff. Much better to wait for v2.
