Yes, all sorted. I can completely see what Karl means by it being clunky !
Interesting though. Earlier I was definitely in ketosis. I just got back from a challenging bike ride and it's quite a bit lower. Will test again in a couple of hours to see what happens.
Karl Weckstrom, [16.08.16 02:34]
so the thing to remember about the ketonix is that the color ranges are just for your own reference
Karl Weckstrom, [16.08.16 02:34]
they mean absolutely nothing
Karl Weckstrom, [16.08.16 02:34]
so you can set whatever color ranges you want
Karl Weckstrom, [16.08.16 02:34]
what DOES matter is the ketosis range, which is 40+
Karl Weckstrom, [16.08.16 02:35]
where 40 is the lowest, faintest level of ketosis (but is still ketosis)

[In reply to Karl Weckstrom]
Excellent well I'm over that at least, even after exercise
Karl Weckstrom, [16.08.16 02:35]
anything below 40 means you might still be 'ketotic' but not in what's considered 'nutritional ketosis'

Give it a few years when we're on version 6 and it will be fantastic
Karl Weckstrom, [16.08.16 02:37]
another thing i've learned is that your values tend to spike up AFTER a highly ketonic meal, like after an hour or two. 2 hours after a meal I know is 'keto', my values usually go from 50 to 60+
Karl Weckstrom, [16.08.16 02:38]
the nice thing is that you can eat something that's "questionable", test an hour later, and if your values dip down, you now know that it's throwing you out

That's one of the main reasons that I got it. The ability to test for trigger foods will be really helpful

that's what mine looks like for the past couple of weeks
Karl Weckstrom, [16.08.16 02:46]
never hit 70, but was never under 50.
Karl Weckstrom, [16.08.16 02:46]
I've read about some people being in the high 60's all the time, but they're like crazy athletic and that ain't me :)

How often do you measure ?
Karl Weckstrom, [16.08.16 02:58]
twice a day usually, morning and evening. If I remember :)
Karl Weckstrom, [16.08.16 02:58]
I usually eat at like 6pm daily (doing IF 23/1), so usually by morning I've got pretty good metalmouth
Karl Weckstrom, [16.08.16 02:59]
and it actually drops off during the day sometimes - but normally I'm around 55-60 on this thing
Leeanne Denton, [16.08.16 03:31]
Wish I had one. Lol.
Leeanne Denton, [16.08.16 03:32]
Do u need to buy consumables for it?
Deleted Account, [16.08.16 03:33]
Nope. £150 (new) and it lasts for a loooong time. No expensive strips or anything.
Leeanne Denton, [16.08.16 03:33]
Awesome.
Leeanne Denton, [16.08.16 03:33]
Will have to add it to my list
Leeanne Denton, [16.08.16 03:34]
Decided now I want a new phone, alongside a desktop pic lol

Keep an eye on eBay. You can set up alerts so that you get a notification if anyone lists one for sale
Leeanne Denton, [16.08.16 03:34]
Good idea

Might have to. Shame I'm skint lol

I *think* that's the 1st model, the 2015 version is either red or blue. Not sure if it's actually any different inside mind !
Karl Weckstrom, [16.08.16 03:41]
you can spend a couple of bucks to have that one upgraded
Karl Weckstrom, [16.08.16 03:42]
but if it spits out a 40-70, who cares. that's all that really matters
Leeanne Denton, [16.08.16 03:48]
Cool
