- Testing to see how your metabolism is responding to your diet and lifesytle is a super smart idea!
I've spent way too much money over the years in search for the 'best ketone testing meter.'
Only to find out...there's no one best way (IMO, as each one has pros and cons).
In this video we review the new Ketyo breath acetone meter, the Levl meter, Ketonix, Keto Coach, Keto Mojo and Precision Xtra meter.
I"ve been digging this new Ketyo breath acetone meter (check it out getkeyto.com/hih

My go-to blood based BHB meter is the Keto Coach, as they have the moisture sealed strips.

Great blood ketone testing meter: ketocoachx.com
Ketonix is the original breath acetone meters, I have all iterations but need to try their newest version: www.ketonix.com
Keto Mojo is cool because the meter has both ketone and glucose testing abilities: keto-mojo.com/
I was one if the original backers of Keyto. Love the device. My other breathe meter crapped out on me but Keyto is going strong thus far.
When testing my blood ketones and glucose I notices differences based off how I feel. I can tell when my Ketones are between 1.2 - 2, I am not hungry at all, I literally have no appetite. Not only that its very therapeutic, I feel so energized and euphoric.
Thanks for all your help as I continue my keto lifestyle.
I've been using the Keyto breath acetone tester for a couple of months. I like it. I find it provides an incentive not to cheat on carbs because I want my Keyto level to stay high. It feels good to see that number be 5, 6, or 7, the range I am in, and that keeps me on track.
Been using Keyto since kickstarter, and very happy with it. It costs only 99$. I would not recommend getting the premium package, since it brings very little extra value.
Ive used a Ketonix breath analyser for almost ten years. I find it easy to use, and it has been very reliable.
Subscribed. I'm brand new to all this and have a bad feeling I have diabetes. It's an ongoing series of events that I'm now forced to face. It's going to take me watching a few times but I really appreciate your sharing this! Thank you!
Really thorough, helpful review, Mike! Thanks!
This was great information. Thanks for the awesome and detailed review!
Great vid Mike- I’ve been on the fence with deciding what I should do, how ... et al and I feel pretty confident now about what I should do. Thanks as always for the info! I appreciate your time. Have an awesome rest of your day! Missed your daughter today ! 💗😉- a cutie pie for sure!
Great information as always Mike!
Goody Beats thanks boss!!
You prolly dont give a shit but if you guys are bored like me during the covid times then you can watch pretty much all of the latest movies on Instaflixxer. Been watching with my girlfriend for the last days =)
@Axel Derek yup, I've been watching on InstaFlixxer for months myself =)
Suggestion: I would like to hear about the different ketone values returned from using the blood test strips (nutritional ketosis vs higher levels) and what ketone levels someone should target for or can expect following exercise and fasting.
I don't test for ketosis, I use a strong mind/body connection since I know what it feels like to be "in keto" for myself.
Craeola LordofColors Intuition is amazing, but objective variables are more helpful as well IMO
Do this again on a Whiteboard breaking down the list of features and costs!
Please.
You cannot pay once for the keyto anymore. It is a monthly subscription with the ketone breathalyzer included in the monthly subscription.
Awesome! I need to check ketones cause I’m fasting for 25 hrs now! Feeling kinda lightheaded
hi Mike I just recently bought the ketonix. Besides that i am having tech problems like some mornings the new day appear so you can record your breaths and other mornings doesnt happened: the previous meassurements are on the analysis tab and there is no way to move to the actual day...some other things are happening, for ex: I practice the keto diet for 5 years now and one day i ate a fruit salad with some cereal , a few hours later my reads where over 20 when normaly are around 7. I consuted them about this and they told me it could be 2 things: 1.the excesive insuline might have produced an hipoglucemia and to protect my brain i have produced lots of ketones. 2. the bacteria digesting the carbs produces methane and the ketonix is picking methane and not acetone. i had never heard before producing lots of ketones when you eat a high carbs food so i am incline to think that it is the methane. But then, how can i test my metabolic flexibility with an acetone meter if it goes crazy when i eat carbs? have you encountered these tecnical problems with ketonix ? how are its reads comparing with keyto? In your video, i thought that you were going to take a breath on the ketonix and see if it was giving the 7 that you got with the keyto
Hi Mike, thanks for the video. I have been using keto mojo for awhile after starting off with Precison. You sparked my interest when you said you didn’t use rubbing alcohol when blood testing. Should we be concerned with exposing our body to alcohol when blood testing?
Gloria M I bet it’s harmless! Maybe drying a bit but no big deal
Good info. Thanks.
Think I'll be ordering getkeyto 👌
Great video! Thank you!
i would like to have a freestyle libre that can measure glucose, ketones and cortisol
Waiting in line...
The day I learn patience is the day I start picking the quickest line in the grocery store.
Thanks for this video. Do you still have a coupon code for the keyto? The one provided not working. Thanks
I see the nail on your Thumb on 10:40 showing horizontal depressions. Is this caused by on/off fasting? Because I have the same.
The keton mojo gk meter is awesome and the strips are in there own little packages
I tested my fasting blood glucose at a lab and took my meters with me to test for accuracy. I have a Free Style Libre CGM, Keto Mojo, and a Precision Xtra. The CGM scan was 3 points off, the CGM blood strip was spot on (Free Style Libre has the capability to test blood as well as scan interstitial fluid for those not familiar with it). The Mojo and Xtra blood glucose readings were 20ish points or more higher. I find this 20ish point difference between the Xtra, Mojo, and Libre blood testing to be consistent with when I use them all to test at home. I had been getting fasting glucose numbers in the 100s or 110s with the Mojo and Xtra and thought I might be pre-diabetic. It was a relief to know those numbers were wrong (I also got a fasting insulin done). I got calibration fluid for each machine and they both were calibrated correctly. I contacted both companies and the response was that the difference of 20 or so points is within the standard deviation allowed by the U.S. government for accuracy. I stopped using those two machines for glucose and only use the Free Style Libre blood testing (not the cgm scanner). The strips for it are the same as the Precision Xtra (Libre is also made by Abbott) or the Precison Neo strips which you can buy at any drug store. I still use the Xtra for ketones. I like the CGM because it provides data over a period of time and it's easy to see trends. I know I'm not insulin resistant because of the data from the CGM - I tested eating a sweet treat and watched to see how long it took my levels to come back down. Happy to say it was with in 30-45 minutes.
Hi, You said "I know I'm not insulin resistant because of the data from the CGM" can you elaborate a bit on this statement? What are you looking at to know.
@@dollydelights In non-diabetic people blood sugar should return to normal levels 1-2 hours after eating. If it does not then the person should be tested for diabetes. I experimented several times with my CGM glucose readings at 30 minutes, 60 minutes, 90 minutes, and 120 minutes after eating. I did these experiments both with sweet treats and regular meals just to see how my body responded. One particular day I ate icecream with a waffle cone. My blood sugar went from the 90s to 150 something. It came back down within 45 minutes. This happened repeatedly with every experiment. If I was insulin resistant my glucose levels would most likely have been higher than 150 and stay elevated for a prolonged period of time. To confirm this information I've had my HbA1c tested before and after starting keto as well as getting a fasted insulin test to see if my insulin was high to begin with. Both my fasting insulin and HbA1c were normal.
Do you calculate glucose ketone index (glucose ÷18) ÷ ketone = g.k.i. , to get an estimate average of insulin measure.
@@seymau5974 yes I have.
Mary Buller how do you get the calibration fluid for keto mojo?
Great tips!!
Can one Keyto device be shared between 2 people? Can it sync with 2 different phones?
Do you have an active discount code for the Keyto acetone meter? Code HIH is not recognized at checkout.
0.5 is still considered nutritional ketosis?
I thought 0.3 was the new standard.
Didn't Ben Bikman explain that as soon as you register anything above LOW on your KetoMojo, you are in fact in ketosis, if you're on a ketogenic diet.
This also serves as a surrogate marker for very low insulin environment since insulin completely stops ketogenesis
As far as the environmental impact goes, the foil package for the Precision Xtra is recyclable. I’ve been doing it for years. Ketone strips for Precision Xtra are about 80¢. For blood glucose, I use a separate meter with more reasonably priced strips.
Lol environmental impact. If only first world people understood how much garbage is dumped into rivers in India and China and other such places. But a foil package or a straw, will be the, well, final straw
Egenio Jaramillo I only commented because it was mentioned in the video and some people care about that stuff. I agree that China and India are the majority of the problem, and it seems intractable.
What are some parameters that the blood glucose should be? And how does the dawn phenomenon play into this?
I have the ketoscan mini and it's been annoying me. I either blow too hard or not hard enough. But when I do manage to get a reading they fluctuate a lot and lower than i would have expected. 40 hours into a fast it showed me 4,8 and i was like hmm tried again 4,6 then again 5.0 and last time 5.6 so 4 times in a row. Not having eaten in almost 2 days should have put me a lot higher i would have thought. Not sure if its me or the ketoscan :D Ill update comment at some point since each try and im guessing failed attempt puts it closer to recalibration. The whole recalibration thing seems odd to me tho. It measures a unit that is always the same should it not work always?
I test my ketones with keto mojo 6 hrs after feeding on OMAD and my ketones are usuaqlly1 to 1,5. After three weeks I went into ketosis and my numbers were close to 3 at some point.My morning glucose is very high, arround 110. I´m 60 yr old male. Been 90% carnivore for 5 weeks and my weight has´nt come down in a week now. I only lost maybe 6 kg. I am quite puzzeld about my weight. I watched you with Thomas D and understood that being in ketosis I would´nt have to worry about eating too little. I´ve in the past all ways stalled after a month when being kcal restricted on a normal diet. I fear this is the case now too. Or is it just that I´ve really messed up my metabolism with many years of kcal restriction off and on? I did hurt my foot a week ago and have had to stay home and just lay on yhe couch. Not that I was very active before but did move arround some. Thanks for the video and greatings from Finland:)
jusakaju interesting! Keep up the great woek
To test my ketones level with Ketyo meter do I need to use the subscription versions of the app at $14.99/month?
I use foracare blood glucose ketone monitor. I think it has less error margin .
If you are testing at a 1 on the Lumen , is that indicative of being in ketosis ?
I loathe finger pricks... so it's a breath meter for me. I do use it exactly the same way at the same time of day. I take in a breath for 5 seconds and then blow into it for a full 10 seconds.
By how much did your Keto Mojo read ketones higher than your other devices, Mike?
My pee stinks on keto. I figure "stinky pee, skinny belly". My neighbor's cat needed the strips because he has diabeetus.
I confess to being a little frustrated with this Biosense device. After much anticipation, my device arrived yesterday. I have been on Keto since August 1st and have been diligent to keep my daily carbs under 20 and on most days even under 10. I've lost 20 lbs in my first 32 days and was sure that I must be in ketosis. According to this device, my keytones have ranged from 0 to 3 over the past two days. I fasted today for 15 hours and just ran a test. It registered "1". I'm wondering if this thing is working correctly. Any one else have a similar experience?
Keyto is very good product.
you didn't use the tip on the KEYTO? Wouldn't that change the data?
Can you make a video on lumen.
Thanks Mike. I use Precision xtra & test less often. (I deleted my other comment).
Sandi GF all good!
My ketomojo is also 0.4 higher than my ketocoach!
I am a fairly strict carnivore of 2 years. I got Keyto based on your recommendation and tested multiple days, multiple times. I am never in ketosis according to the gadget.
Could make sense as many on a carnivore diet are simply high protein not high fat so you can stay in a case of gluconeogenesis
If you’re on Carnivore you’re in ketosis. I would try a different meter
@@drirene57 hello yes, i got keto mojo and i am in ketosis. yeah
Biosense ketone monitor is new on the market. Check it out and a review it.
Off topic... does dhea break a fast?
julius james 🤷🏽♂️ No
I use my stinky breath as a ketone test :))
Why is fasting promoted so much in the you tube keto community? Would it make more since to consume moderate protein, high fat, low carb approach to stabilize ketone production in the blood.
Aaron Garner no it would not make more sense. IF is even more important than keto. You’re messing up the correlation. People that keto, are more likely fast, and people that fast, are more likely keto. If you’re doing keto, doing IF just makes sense, and increases the benefits of both.
Egenio Jaramillo it does not make since for a large majority of those metabolically damaged hypoglycemic people.
Aaron Garner you don’t have to instantly get into fasting or long fasting.... you get your body used to burning ketones first. Then you do IF, longer and longer. Literally what these two things are perfect for.
Aaron Garner Because fasting has many health benefits!
Ketonix is for whatever reason banned in Russia very funny I use that long time
Glucose should be less than 100 two hours after eating. If you can’t test multiple times, that is the time to test.
I bought that Ketone breath meter and returned it. It was total junk
Is it required to do a 36 hour fast or we can try without fast?
Also, guys, if you have time please give some feedback on my channel!
Any meter without a calibration procedure is trash.

I wish we could elect a President as intelligent as Mike who could speak on complex subjects off the top of his head.
Most can't read their native tongue from a teleprompter ffs.
@@billytheweasel If Mike was in charge of creating the meal plans for public school meals, the country would be better off.
@@nerychristian Now there's a plan.

We DID on election day 2020.
You need to make videos for stupid people Mike. The fast food hauls DeLauer does it's so stupid at first glance BUT think about what he is doing. If enough people buy products that are even dirty keto at those places. The demand will skyrocket. And to get those ingredients organic food producers will be sought after. It's fucking genius what he does.
testing for ketones, lol.
