Understanding Blood Ketone Measurement

Why Measure Blood Ketones?

Blood ketone measurements provide a snapshot of your body's ketone levels, indicating the extent to which you are utilizing fat for fuel. This information is crucial for:

Monitoring ketosis

Adjusting diet and exercise

Troubleshooting plateaus

Types of Ketones

There are three primary ketone bodies:

Acetone: The most prevalent ketone, easily excreted through the lungs

Acetoacetate: An intermediate ketone that can be converted into β-hydroxybutyrate

β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB): The most stable and abundant ketone, providing sustained energy

Using Keto Mojo for Accurate Ketone Measurement

Step 1: Gather Materials

You will need:

Keto Mojo Blood Ketone Meter

Ketone Test Strips

Lancets

Alcohol Swabs

Step 2: Prepare the Meter and Test Strip

Insert a ketone test strip into the meter and turn it on. Wait for the meter to run its self-test.

Step 3: Collect a Blood Sample

Wash your hands thoroughly. Use an alcohol swab to clean the finger you will prick. Prick your finger with a lancet and gently squeeze to obtain a small drop of blood.

Step 4: Apply Blood to the Test Strip

Immediately transfer the blood drop to the designated area on the ketone test strip.

Step 5: Read the Results

Within seconds, the meter will display your blood ketone level in millimoles per liter (mmol/L).

Interpreting Ketone Results

Optimal blood ketone levels for nutritional ketosis typically range from 0.5 to 3 mmol/L. However, individual needs may vary. It is important to track your ketone levels over time and consult with a healthcare professional for personalized interpretation.

Troubleshooting Inaccurate Ketone Measurements

False High Readings

Contamination of the test strip with other substances, such as alcohol or ketones on your hands, can lead to falsely elevated readings.

False Low Readings

Insufficient blood sample, improper application, or old test strips can result in falsely low readings.
