I have been using the KetoBM ketone meter for a couple days now. At first, I had some failed readings. I emailed the seller and they walked me through using the meter properly and it turns out the errors were my fault. You don't need a lot of blood but you do need to have a good drop to get a proper reading. I have since used about 10 strips and have had great results!

Bought this to replace my old meter because I got tired of overpaying for test strips. The replacement strips for this are much more affordable. I was worried that the meter might not be as good but surprisingly it works better. It requires less blood and the lancing device is easier to use. I did a few side by side tests with my old meter to check it for accuracy and got the same results. Should have bought this sooner.

We have been using this product for about a week and a half now. The readings appear to be very accurate and give peace of mind that you’re still in ketosis. The first time I used it, I got an error code, but it’s because I don’t follow directions very well. When putting the blood sample on the test strip it needs to be placed on the very tip, not smeared on the top. I would also suggest starting out with a lower or mid level on the poker. I started on 5 and it didn’t feel so awesome, but the next time I turned it to 3 and it worked like a charm. I still gave ease of use 5 stars because it is very simple to use if you read, and follow, the instructions.

This is the easiest device I have used. I tried another meter but it needed to be calibrated and some solution was required. This meter is ready to use out of the box and the lancing device is great, can barely feel the needle. You get your results fast, and painless!!

Designed for the keto diet, (no glucose function). Very simple and easy to use, simple instructions that do a good job of walking you through the basic steps to get a reading. Truly a must have tool for anyone that uses the keto diet/intermittent fasting/paleo lifestyle!

I decided to purchase a blood ketone monitor after I started getting negative results every single time with my urine test strips. Fearing not being in Ketosis anymore, I decided to go with KetoBM because it was cheaper than the other brand. As soon as i received it I tested my blood and I got a 2.1 reading, well within the ketosis range. I'm throwing away my urine strips and sticking to this blood monitor for now on. Its very easy to use and it only took 10 seconds.

When I started my keto diet, it was obviously important that I remained in ketosis. I bought the urine strips, but wasn't confident that they were giving a good reading. So, upon more research, I learned that blood-is-best! I researched machines and many people raved about the Keto BM. They were sure right. With all of the supplies, it was a bit cheaper than the others. The instructions are very clear and it's super easy to use. And I finally feel confident with the results. Cheers to weight loss on keto!

I started a keto/low-carb diet using the urinalysis test strips and discovered that they are not all that accurate, and your readings are also very dependent on whether you're dehydrated or not, how much water you're drinking, how long ago you ate, etc. There's also a delay between when you eat/what your blood levels are and when the ketones will show up in your urine (kidney processing time). So the urinanalysis strips only give you a ballpark and not a true estimate of how your body is reacting in real time or to particular foods. I've used this meter to discover what foods I can and can't eat and how many carbs a day I can tolerate and still stay in the fat burning mode. A meter that reads your blood ketone level is essential if you're serious about going keto or losing weight, because everbody's body is different in terms of how many carbs you can eat and stay in ketosis. A meter like this gives you a really fast and accurate reading of whether you're staying in ketosis, and whether certain foods are more likely to kick you out of ketosis or drop your levels due to how your body reacts to that particular food. Using this meter, I discovered that certain foods that are touted as 'low carb' or having fewer net carbs (like some supposed high protein low carb bars or cookies) kicked me right out of ketosis, so they were not good products to eat since I want to lose weight, even though they are marketed as for low carb dieters. I highly recommend this meter, though the strips are expensive (they are for all brands). You can use it more in the beginning to learn what your body will and won't tolerate and whether you're in that optimal range of 1.5 - 3.0 mmol needed for weight loss based on what you eat and how much. I use it now to do a once a day check, and if I am trying some new food I haven't before and want to know whether it will kick me out of ketosis or not. One caution is the strips tend to stick together, so if you have trouble inserting the strip into the meter, make sure that you're not trying to push two in that are stuck together. They're about $1 apiece for the strips, so you don't want to waste any!

This is the perfect tool to check the status of your ketosis diet! No guessing, no urine strips (that may or may not be accurate), and it definitely helps to see what your body does with particular foods/drinks/fasting/etc.

Using keto strips to determine if I was in ketosis was messy, to say the least, and didn't seem reliable. So I went searching for something better. I read reviews for many keto monitors and chose to try the KetoBM and am very pleased I did. It is so easy to read, was preset and very easy to use. I feel it is accurate: it doesn't give me the same reading every time I use it. I know when I haven't eaten keto for a meal or a day and the monitor readings reflect that which leads me to believe it is accurate. Would I recommend this product? It works for me, but everyone has to decide for themselves. I would buy it again.

I really like the meter. What I’m really impressed with is the customer service of the KetoBM staff. I initially had an issue with the meter. I kept getting an error when a strip was inserted. I contacted KetoBM who responded promptly and help me get to the bottom of the issue. This was amazing because I’ve had horrible experiences with customer service in the past and it was so refreshing for a company to take pride in their products and relations with their customers. I’ve been using the meter for nearly 2 weeks now and I’m very pleased with the product.

The product is great - easy to use and the test strips are priced better than the other popular alternatives. I compared the first five strips to my Keto mojo using the same sample and got exact matches on all but one test. Happy with the outcomes here. I did run into an issue with E02 errors on number of test strips and emailed support to make sure I was on the right track. Eugene got back to me immediately and resolved my issue quickly and professionally. Highly recommend for price, ease of use, and responsiveness of the company.

It is so similar to a diabetic testing kit. The monitor is easy to read and setup. The test strips are easy to insert and quickly picks up a tiny bit of blood from a fingertip and reads quickly and accurately. The only thing I wasn't crazy about is that I had to look everywhere in the literature and their website to find the range of readings of ketosis and how to interpret the results.

I read a lot about how to test for ketosis prior to my purchase. I discovered that blood monitoring is the most reliable. As someone who already has to test her blood sugar, I wasn't worried about the fingerprick part. This product seemed to be the best value and the refill prices for the test strips were comparable. The item arrived more quickly then expected and came with very easy to follow directions. The only thing you need to use this is alcohol wipes, as it is better to wipe off the finger you are going to prick. The process is easy and everything else, including batteries, is included in your package. This isn't something you have to test daily, so the test strips go a lot further, then you may think.

I have been on a low carb WOE for ~6months now and although the urine strips have assisted in tracking ketosis, they fluctuate tremendously based on fluid consumption etc. I wanted to get serious in tracking for not only weight loss but overall health benefits and this kit was reasonably priced, small in size but accurate in comparison to recent bloodwork.

This product is very easy to set up and use. The instructions are clear and easy to follow. I got a reading faster than the 10 seconds it states. This is going to be a huge help and motivator to remain in my sweet spot/Keto sis. I think it will also help not to get into any danger zones.

I just now ran down to get this from my mail box. I opened it up and took a quick glance over the quick start up and had my first reading in seconds. Easy peasy lemon squeezy! Have to admit that I already had some experience with a glucose meter and found this to be just as easy to use and no coding. Thanks to SELLER for your quick email response to my question, too.

I was looking for a reasonable priced blood ketone meter that could help me along on my journey to ketosis. All the other meters I’ve seen are super expensive and isn’t as accurate as this one. So far so good. It comes with 10 test strips and you can purchase more which are a little expensive than other brands. All in all, I’m very happy with my meter and how easy it is to use it.

Finally able to tell what’s kicking me out of ketosis and adjusting my diet as needed. The number on the scale is FINALLY going down and my energy is going up! It’s been almost three months. Having solid ketone numbers has been such a help and motivation.

I just received this today. I pulled out the Quick Start Guide, put the batteries in, inserted the lancet and held my breath while I pulled the trigger. I had to squeeze my finger to get a blood droplet so my fear of pricking my finger was totally unfounded. Put the blood droplet on the end of the strip and got a reading in 10 seconds. Wow! So glad I ordered it so I can finally figure out if I'm in ketosis or not.

I was considering the KetoMojo machine and this one, but I really don't need the blood glucose testing part of the machine. These strips are less expensive and for just needing a ketone tester, this is a fantastic option. Machine is easy to use, everything feels like great quality. Accurate so far.

It's great. Easy & quick. I wish I would have bought the model that msrs ketone AND glucose.

I am a Keto newbie. After a great deal of reading on what the Keto diet really is, and why it's good for the body, I decided I would give it a try. I have some serious inflammatory issues and felt this approach could help. I ordered the KetoBM meter after much research on why I should use blood meter (over urine or breath). I knew if I was going to embark on this journey, I needed to 'measure' if I was doing it correctly or not. The KetoBM meter arrived very quickly, is affordable, and super easy to use. No pre-programming required. I inserted the test strip, pricked my finger, put the small drop of blood on the end of the test strip and waited 10 seconds. It was so motivating to see on the meter for the first time I was in ketosis, about a week of adjusting my diet. I can now also see each day what I might need to adjust from the day before. (I currently test in the morning) This helps me learn about what works for my body. I highly recommend the KetoBM monitor. It's affordable, easy to use and as far as I can tell, it's accurate and reliable.

I have struggled for so long trying to lose weight and tried every diet out there until I learned about Keto. KetoBM monitor and strips has provided me with an invaluable tool to achieving my goals. So far over the last 2 months I have lost 25 pounds by monitoring that I stay within the keto zone. This is a fantastic product and worth your investment!

I had to replace another meter that was not functioning properly. I’ve been using for about a week and it’s been great! There was no calibration necessary, instructions were fairly simple and it’s relatively painless. The kit isn’t bulky and was delivered really quickly.

My first meter didn’t work. I received a replacement and a few extra strips within 2 days from the vendor. Excellent customer service!!!! I recommend.

I should have paid more attention to the videos on how to use. I have used a glucose meter in the past and they are different. I wasted a few strips in the beginning....if you follow the instructions ....it works like a charm.

I have been doing the Keto diet for 6 weeks and finally decided to get a monitor to test my ketone levels. It arrived today. The vial of strips was open to the air when I opened the package, and the instructions say to close the lid immediately after use, so I was concerned the strips were not good. But I used it once to get a reading, then immediately used another strip to get a second reading and the two readings were identical. The monitor was easy and very intuitive to use. I did find the lancing device awkward, and finally resorted to using the lancing device from my glucose monitor kit. All in all, I'm happy with both the unit and my readings!

Very accurate, easy to use (although strips requires some pressure to insert), and easy to use. A blood keto meter is the best method to test your ketosis level and I definitely recommend this meter.

Does what they advertise. Helps me know if I am on the right track.

I was diagnosed as a diabetic. A1C of 10.2. Naturally, I freaked. I was given medication but I decided I'm NOT doing that. I will change how I eat. I ate keto using a Keto app. There is definitely a learning curve on how to eat Keto. It's not hard or complicated but you DO have to read labels. We found our garlic powder has sugar in it! WHAT!!?? Urin sticks are in the ballpark. I need to KNOW where I'm at and if I am off why. I personally think this meter is priceless! Its super easy to use! I use one drop in my sugar meter and touch this keto meter and done. You don't even need a whole drop of blood. I dropped my A1C down to 7.0 in three months. I wasn't able to do much for exercise with a current bad knee or it would have dropped even more. Do NOT be without this meter!

Easy to use and set up! I am very happy with this meter!

The monitor is very easy to use and the results are accurate. I wish they had included information on ketosis levels however that info is easily available from many sites online. I would recommend it to anyone wanting to test their ketosis levels. Keep in mind the best time to test is four hours after a meal but not after a 12 hour fast.

This machine is very easy to use. Very quick getting results.

I can't swear by the accuracy of it yet, though it appears to be very accurate from the initial readings I've gotten. Very easy to use, quick. For the money, hard to beat anything with comparable features to measure Ketones.

Super easy to use! Cheaper device and strips than Keto Mojo.

KetoBM Ketone Blood Meter Kit is a great product. The instructions are very straightforward and very easy. It took me five minutes to remove it from the box, install the batteries, and get a precise reading. It’s as easy as checking your blood glucose level. For all you serious Keto dieters, it’s a must-have.

Easy to use. Works well and you get free 10 test strips when you go to the sellers website

I’ve never used a blood monitor before, so I was a bit intimidated by the whole process. The monitor was very easy to program and the instructions for how to do a test were very clear and simple. As far as accuracy, I have only used it once, so I’ll update that part after several more tests.

Easy to use. Helps me track ketones and various times of the day. Price per test strip makes it practical to check frequently to see the impact of fasting and foods on my ketone levels.

This monitor is amazing! I've used a couple of different monitors, and this one is the most accurate! It's a must buy!!

I love this monitor!! It doesn’t need much blood for a sample and works very quickly!

Easy to use. Love it. Very accurate too.

Has everything I need to get me started on Keto for a very reasonable price.

I loved it, it was easy and fast to use and reliable.

Very easy to use. I assume the readings are accurate, as I have nothing but Keto Urine Strips with which to compare. My urine strip this morning said I had "moderate" ketone levels, and the Meter gave me a reading of 1.7. I am still new to Keto, so I will probably have additional comments as I proceed on this journey. My one criticism: the date/time button could be easier to use, and would benefit from diagrams in the manual. Nonetheless, I eventually figured it out and it is now set to the correct date and time. I highly recommend this for diabetics like me who already have a perfectly good glucose meter. Many, if not most, ketone meters also include a glucose meter, and consequently, are much more expensive. This one fit the bill very nicely. Highly recommend.

Easy to use

Prior to this purchase, I have only used the Keto urine strips. They are cheaper, but less satisfying to use. As someone who wants more precise feedback, I decided to purchase a meter. This one had the best reviews, and so I went with it and I'm not sorry. Having used a glucose meter before, it was not problem to learn how to use this meter. A super clear video explains how to use it as well. I am able to test my ketone level in a matter of minutes and I know exactly what my reading is. I also appreciate that the meter stores the readings - so it's easy to scroll back and see reading from the past couple of weeks. I've used the meter daily for a couple of weeks now and I'm super pleased with it.

easy and accurate, what more could you ask for?

The meter is really easy to use. I purchased it because I suspected I was out of Ketosis. Now I know I'm gradually getting back in, thanks to this meter. I like that it's not as expensive as the others I've seen.

Easy, accurate and nice to pop in my purse! I tested once right after eating and then an hour later after researching that you should wait about one hour after you’ve ingested anything (even water). So nice to be able to see ketone levels go up with this thing!

Es el primer medidor de cetonas que compro y me llego mucho antes de lo esperado, es muy fácil de usar y ya esta calibrado.

I have the urine testing strips, the breath meter, but this by far is the best, most accurate tool I have to measure ketones and ensure my state of nutritional ketosis. I highly recommend it, for ease of use, reliability and fast results!

This device gives a quick and accurate reading in seconds. It’s easy to set up and use. Wait for the screen to show “ch”, then add blood to the strip. Within ten seconds, you’ll have a reading! I’ve been working hard to manage my Keto diet and fasting so seeing my reading was affirming. I’ve seen the weight loss but knowing my body is responding and I’m Ketosis, makes all the efforts worthwhile. I’m prediabetic so it was a necessary change! I can’t wait to have my blood sugar levels checked at my next doc appointment!

I was a little confused at first about how to release the lancet then felt foolish when I figured it out I was trying to follow the directions completely but the part about pushing the button wasn’t on there. I also had my son push the button at first because i was scared it would hurt but it didn’t. In fact I didn’t think I pierced my skin but I did. I was impressed with that and happy I didn’t have to experience any pain.

I'm on keto,wanted to be sure my system was in it. The best way is though a blood reading.

I am new to the Keto diet and read all sorts of anecdotal evidence about "being in ketosis making your breath or urine smell a certain way", yadda yadda yadda but I had no way of really KNOWING if I was doing and eating the right things. This monitor has completely solved that. Also, I was totally scared of lancing myself because just the thought of this gave me anxiety but it's super easy and relatively painless. 5 stars!

I don't think you can beat the price to value of this keto blood monitor. It's pretty easy to use (quick start guide provided details all the steps. I would have liked a chart or something to tell me what the different levels mean, but that was easy enough to google. Would recommend for anyone looking for a thrifty keto blood monitor.

The Keto BM is to use, and the lancing device better than most.

As this machine was cheaper than others, and had good reviews, I decided to give it a try. I thought my numbers were really low when I got it, and being a suspicious person by nature, I ended up testing it against other machines. The results were the same on 3 different brands. I feel pretty confident that I'm getting accurate numbers.

The KetoBM is easy to use and provides a more reliable method of Ketone level monitoring than urine regent strips. It looks and feels like a typical glucose blood meter and operates is much the same way: requiring a lancet and a finger tip prick to take the sample. The only downside I've encountered thus far is that the test strips are rather pricey and can't be used as frequently as glucose test strips without denting the pocketbook. However, from the point of view of the results and functionality, I am extremely satisfied. Good product!

This product works as advertised giving me accurate blood keytone numbers.

This is an excellent product. Much more accurate than the urine sticks. It has provided me with more confidence that I am in Ketosis so I can continue on the keto diet. Easy to use and set up. Directions easy to follow the first time. Wish it came with more testing sticks, a month supply would be nice. I hope they are not expensive!

The directions were very easy to follow. I quickly got my monitor set with correct date and time, with no problems. I did go online to the website to watch a short video, because I did not want to waste any test strips. The small case for the monitor is well made and includes a zipper compartment to store the ketone strips. I am very pleased with my purchase.

Easy to use meter. Keeps me accountable on my keto lifestyle

Easy to use, affordable and accurate.

I just got my KetoBM test meter. All that was required was to install batteries in the unit and load the lancet in the finger pricker. The ability to get a drop of blood was quick and painless. The strip, loaded into the meter read the value within 10 seconds. I love simplicity and this product is intuitive and foolproof as possible. I highly recommend this device.

Easy to use with clear instructions.

The meter has been perfect so far. I've been using it for a week, and it gives me much better detail and is less subjective than the urine sticks. I'm back into a healthy ketosis and look forward to continuing to use this product.

I have never used anything like that before but it was very easy with very clear instructions

Never owed one before. Got this for my new Keto diet. It’s nice to know ketone levels

My choice of ketone blood tester came down to the Keto-Mojo and KetoBM. I picked this one because of its ease of operation. No chip to be bothered with and no calibration required. Results are available in 10 seconds and the process couldn't be simpler. Overall I'm delighted with my purchase.

The system is so great in accurate

Very happy with this purchase! Just started doing the keto diet and checking by blood ketones is a good way to keep me in line. The machine is super easy to use and you get the results in 10 seconds. Very happy with this purchase.

Update... I’ve been using this meter while doing Keto and not. I get the same reading every time. Very disappointed. I guess I’ll just have to assume I’m in ketosis.

This monitor is easy to use, and a must-have if you want an accurate reading of your state of ketosis.

Great product. Same results as others with a much lower price point. Only wish test strips were cheaper.

So far it seems accurate.

I had never used a blood test kit of any kind before. The instructions were very clear and the product is easy to use. The lancet seems quite robust, and you can adjust the needle depth easily. Got a reading within 10 seconds on my first try. Would recommend to anyone needing ketone readings, since blood tests are the most accurate method by far.

It was very easy to use

Easy to use. Accurate.

This is a really cool meter. It is easy to use. It comes with batteries installed and a nice carry pouch. I wish it was easier to store the instruction manual in the pouch. But thats ok. The instructions are easy to figure out, too. I am new to Keto and I wanted to KNOW if I was in a Keto state or not. The strips you pee on seemed like they were not as reliable. Glad I bought this. I also have a glucose meter. I wish I could enter the results from the glucose meter into the KetoBM, and get my GKI rating quickly. (glucose/ketone index score). The GKI is a scale from 1 to 9 as to how deep a Keto state you are in. It does this by dividing your glucose by 18 and then dividing that by your Keto score. You don't really need this, but I think the GKI is a good number to use.

This blood monitoring device is not the best for your money. I returned it and purchased a keto mojo device instead which works far better

Very pleased with my new ketone meter. Instructions were very easy to follow and meter is simple to use immediately. No learning curve. Love it.

Easy to use. Was accurate on multiple back to back tests

First meter sent was defective I contacted customer service and they corrected right away! Definitely would recommend!

I received my KetoBM today and tested my ketones. It seems accurate.

So far so good. Good price although strips are pricey.

Stip a little pricey but honeslty worth the money.

This monitor was accurate and as easy to use as a blood glucose monitor.

Very easy to use. Accurate readings.

Great product! Love how easy this is to use and how reliable the results are. Thank you so much!!!!

Super simple to set up. Easy and accurate!

I like the ease of use...I would like cheaper test strips but I like the fact I trust this product.

to check staying ketosis

I absolutely love it! It helps a lot to figure my daily food intake.

I love the ease of use of this product. It is also very fast and accurate. Very helpful.

Great choice. Simple to use. Accurate readings.

Product is accurate and easy to use

Started using this device - it's a lot more accurate than the ketone dip sticks and a perfect companion for those on the keto diet.
