I was lucky enough to receive a gifted ketoscan mini back in September. I was able to record a full month’s data for October, a real eye opener for me. There are 3 different ways to measure ketone levels, the urine strips, blood tests or breathalysers. Urine strips can be very inaccurate, the blood test units are affordable but tend to have exorbitant priced measurement strips (you do random testing infrequently and you have to prick your finger, ouch!!) And finally, the breathalysers, who in the past have also thought to be inaccurate. Breathalysers measure the “acetone” level generated by your liver in your breath, the acetone expelled out is commonly known as “keto breath”? . . So why is this unit so special you might ask? It is the first cartridge based breathalyser. Other breathalysers use semi-conducteurs to do the analysis, which are often unreliable. The Ketoscan Mini, measures real time breath using an ultra precise electrochemical cartridge. So as long as you follow the guidelines on the app which guides you every time you use it, it will always be accurate. To keep that accuracy going, the unit needs to recalibrated after approximately 300 measures. . . So I have had a full month of using my unit almost every day and I love it!! Why, because it has made me completely change the way I was doing keto. I often travel for work and I had no idea how many times I went over my carb count, it was so innocent, I never ate refined carbs or anything that would flag as containing high carbs, so it wasn’t obvious. But I would go back to the hotel and too many times find out that I had kicked myself out of ketosis. Measuring my ketone levels every day I travelled, allowed me to pin point what I was doing wrong. It was all about the sauces, salad dressing that came with salads, creamy sauces that came with the steaks etc…I now ask for my food with nothing and request olive oil & vinegar on the side! It is so easy to fall into those traps isn’t and I am still learning but my awareness is increasing by the day?? Would I recommend this device, yes 100%, I can’t imagine not having one. Swipe to the left ⏪ to see what the readings mean! . . #ketoscan #ketolifestyle
