Ketone blood monitor review

Well friends, I am back home and in my kitchen after a whirlwind book tour for The Everyday Ketogenic Kitchen. And while I’ve been cooking up a storm, I am a wee bit behind on recipe development for the blog. In fact, I’ve actually been working on recipes for cookbook number TWO! But shhhhhh, that little project is still under wraps for right now.

So in lieu of a recipe today, I thought I’d tell you about a new keto product that I purchased lately and that I am really happy with. It’s kind of upped the keto game for me and I like it so much, I thought I’d not only review it for you, but give one away as well.

I recently got my paws on the new Keto Mojo Ketone and Blood Glucose Monitor. And I am loving it!

For the most part, I am quite lazy. And by that I don’t mean that I don’t work hard or exercise hard…because I work insanely hard and I love nothing more than breaking a good sweat. But I do fall into the Lazy Keto category. By which I mean I don’t obsessively track what I eat and I don’t spend inordinate amounts of time calculating my macros. I simply intuitively eat a very low carb, very high fat diet and pretty much hope for the best.


Or at least I used to simply hope for the best. But over the past year or so, I got more interested in knowing how I was actually doing on the keto scale. To that end, I bought some of the urine strips, even though I knew that they were notoriously inaccurate. For a while, they seemed to be pretty reliable, as long as I managed to use them first thing in the morning (and not go to the bathroom in the middle of the night!). I was usually in mild to moderate ketosis, which seemed about right based on what I was eating.

And then they just stopped working altogether. I don’t know if the batch got old, if it was open too long, or what, but suddenly, no matter what I did, my ketones didn’t register at all. I got zero, zip, zilch every time I tested, no matter how on track or off track I ate. Even when I was eating minuscule amounts of carbs…the test strip stayed that disheartening pale shade of tan. I have since discovered that sometimes, when we are well into our keto lives, our body is using this fuel more efficiently and so it stops showing up in our urine. Interesting.

Anyway, through the powers that be (aka Jimmy Moore), I heard of a new product coming out, a new blood ketone/glucose monitor with test strips that weren’t going to cost an arm and a leg. Typically, ketone blood test strips can cost $3 to $4 dollars PER STRIP! And the ones for the Keto Mojo monitor are priced at $1 per strip.

Now….that’s still pretty expensive if you plan to test your ketone levels several times a day. But blood testing for ketones is really the only way to truly know where you stand. I started testing right away when mine arrived and was delighted to discover that despite the negative I was getting on the urine strips, I was a nice solid 2 mmol/L. Moderate ketosis, exactly where I wanted to be.

Ketone blood monitor review

I actually took mine with me on my book signing tour, because a crazy travel schedule can wreak havoc on one’s diet. I didn’t use it every day, but I checked my ketones every few days, just so I could monitor how I was doing. Since I am used to checking my blood glucose anyway, it was easy to get used to the Keto Mojo monitor. And when I had questions, I just hopped over to the Keto Mojo Facebook page and asked them there. I got almost immediate responses!

Do I think you need a ketone blood monitor? Not necessarily, but it sure is nice to have one. I think they are great for people starting this diet who really need a baseline of how they are doing. And I think it’s really great as a way to check in once in a while and keep tabs on yourself. And if you fall off the wagon and kick yourself out of ketosis, the Keto Mojo is a great way to help you get back on track. In the end, I don’t think anyone needs to test more than once a day, just to see how they are doing. And once you are comfortable with this lifestyle and know what you are doing, you could test as little as once every few days. At that rate…it’s quite reasonable.

To get the Keto Mojo test strips for only $1 per strip, just join the Keto Clarity Club here!

And now, yes, I am giving away a whole Keto Mojo set, sponsored by no one except little old me. Because I really do like this product and will stand behind it with pride! So I am giving away the basic kit that includes the monitor, lancet device and lancets, and 10 ketone strips (valued at $49.95). Then I am going to throw in another vial of 50 ketone strips ($50). Because I want YOU to be successful on your keto journey and I think this product can’t but help!

Oh and if you want to see me actually USE the Keto Mojo monitor, I will be doing a Facebook Live video today sometime around 1pm Pacific. I will post the link here for all to see!

  2. I’ve only ever used the urine strips as ketone monitoring always seemed prohibitively expensive. This little guy and accompanying strips actually seem reasonable – although winning one would be even better!

    • I would love to win this!! I need to check my Ketones to make sure I am ok. Thank you,
      I’m not sure if this is to get in the drawing or not but here I am.

  5. This post could not be more timely. We found out just yesterday that my husband is prediabetic. We are in shock. I have been eating low-carb for 12 years and much of what I have learned and done over the past 12 years has rubbed off on him–and of course, he eats what I eat. But, the interesting part is, that God has fully prepared us for this trial: I have been researching keto over the past few months, just out of curiosity. I asked for your new cookbook for my birthday a few weeks ago… But I had NO idea that we would truly need it, and so quickly! Carolyn, I am so thankful for your work.

  6. I tried the urine test strips but mostly go off how I feel and what I’m logging. I would love to get my hands on this!

  7. I’ve been on the keto diet for 3 weeks now. I have lost 8 lbs, 6 if it was the 1st week. I test uainf urin strips. But i have heard these are not accurate! Would love to use this! I track my macros and have a hard time keeping under my proteins so I reallyneant to know if I am in ketosis.
    Thanks for the opportunity!

  10. I have tried using Keto test strips with varying results, so it would be nice to try something that would be more accurate in measuring blood ketones.

  11. This would be awesome to win. I have never tested ketones in this manner and know both my husband and I would love to win this! Thanks for hosting a great giveaway!

  12. I have tested ketones with the urine strips but it seems like there’s a huge margin of error and I never got a solid read on whether I was in ketosis. This kit looks cool!

    Reply

  17. I’ve only used the urine strips and would be curious to see what the readings are using the meter. I’ve been eating Keto a year and am a slow loser due to age and hormones – at times it’s frustrating when the scale does not move. Makes me wonder if I’m consuming a food product that is stalling me.

  18. I would love to win. I have used ketone test strips when I first embarked on the Keto lifestyle months ago, but the strips did not work unfortunately.

  19. Yes I test…. occasionally when I feel really good or really crappy and some times when I am just curious. Ketogenic for medical reasons so it’s nice to know.

  21. I have never tested my ketone levels since i started my journey 4+ months ago. I am eager to acquire a device on which to track things to better benefit from the Keto lifestyle.

  33. Excited to see this opportunity that makes testing ketones more affordable! I like know where I am as far as ketones, especially when I am targeting specific goals. Thanks for connecting with this company and making the giveaway a possibility for someone, Carolyn!

    Reply

  36. Cool product. I think based on your carb intake your body is using all the ketones it is producing and that is great!

    Reply

  39. I’m in the same boat as you are. Primarily keto since 2011, I now find the pee strips to be totally useless. I certainly wouldn’t mind something much more accurate such as this!

    Reply

  40. Yes, I have tested ketones using a meter before and loved having that information handy. The test strips became cost prohibitive though. Then I lost everything in a disaster last year. Love that something more affordable has hit the market

  41. I’m just starting and using the urine test strips. They seem to be working (and the food plan is DEFINITELY working) but I am curious about blood monitoring.

  43. I have never tested before. But I’m just starting this diet and I believe this would help. I’ve been looking at Facebook posts and reading up on it. This device It’s so interesting.

  45. I have been looking at starting a Keto diet, but was concerned that I would not do it right. This would really help me so I could test my levels and know that I am doing it correctly.

  52. Used the keto urine stick back when I started my keto lifestyle, but once fully keto adapted, the urine sticks no longer registered ketones in my urine. Would love this kit!

  53. I’ve never tested my blood ketone levels. I would love to try. I’ve strayed far from the keto life. I need to get back on track.

  54. I have not tested my ketones, but then I have fallen off the wagon and am now back at it, so this would be a great way to see if I’m reaching ketosis. Thanks for this give away!

  72. I have been doing Keto for the last 4 months with great results (mostly). I would love to be able to test my Keto levels to know when my body is in ketosis as I have times when I plateau. This would be extremely beneficial to keep me on track!

    Reply

  73. I have used the urine test strips before, but stopped when I heard how inaccurate they were. I’m struggling to come back to keto after losing 50 pounds three years ago, then falling off the wagon for the past year. I’ve been doing well, sticking to under 20 carbs a day, but not losing much at all for the last month. This may help me figure out why.

    Reply

  74. I have been wanting to try testing blood ketones, but I am nervous to poke myself, lol! I still want to try the Kei Mojo because it would be much more reliable than the Ketonix I have, which is not consistent at all! The urine strips, as you said, aren’t very accurate either. Like you, I eat an intuitive/lazy keto diet & it would be nice to know if I’m in ketosis for sure. 🙂

    Reply

  75. Have been really wanting to try these. Husband and I have been doing Keto for 1 1/2 years – he has lot 50 lbs. and me 35. But we’ve been at a stall for awhile now and think these test strips would be very helpful.

    Reply

  76. I haven’t used a monitor before but I’ve used using strips but I know they are not always accurate after Ketosis. I would love to have a monitor but haven’t purchased one due to the cost :-/ what an awesome opportunity to own one.

    Reply

  78. I’ve had a lot of trouble really telling if I’m in actual ketosis! This would be amazing!! Thank you for this offer, I Loooveee your recipes!

    Reply

  79. I have been having a super-hard time sticking with keto and a huge part of it has been figuring out a sustainable way for me to monitor my macros and get the feedback of Am I? or Aren’t I? actually in ketosis. I imagine that using this monitor would be quite helpful to see where I am each day. I hope I win it! 8^)

  82. I test ketones about twice to 3x’s per day to make sure my diet is ok, I’m insulin resistant so I also check cpl times per day to make sure my protein intake isn’t too high. I’m an RN so that makes me numbers crazy! Love your new book, am on preorder for the next one and follow you on instagram. You’re awesome

  83. What a FAVULOUS giveaway!!! Thank you so much! I haven’t tried blood testing my ketones yet (been keto for ALMOST 2 years) but would love to be able to. It’s just not been cost effective UNTIL NOW! Thanks again…fingers crossed!!!

  100. Hi,

    I lived in the Philippines, but been doing Keto lifestyle for quite awhile now. We don’t have access to ketones tool measurement, I only see most of this in the US, buying from here costs too much too. This would be a great tool, specially if you’re allowing cheat days, and you need to kick back to keto.

    Reply

  101. I didn’t even know this was a thing!?! It would be very easy and awsome! It’s amazing the tools that are out there that can help people live healthier, happier lives!

    Reply

  102. I have been following the Keto diet (off and on) for the past year. Recently I made a commitment to follow it as a lifestyle, I bought your cookbook and simply love it! It’s so easy to follow and you take all the work out of cooking by using everyday ingredients that I can find in the store. I have NOT tested for Keto numbers, so this would be great in helping me to find my ‘sweet spot’ in the Keto lifestyle. Thanks for all you do Carolyn!

    Reply

  103. I’ve never used a blood test monitor but would love to see how different foods affect me, and also be able to play with the carb level and see what I can tolerate while remaining in ketosis!

  105. The “ARness” in me, would LOVE to keep track of my Keto numbers. What an easy, tangible way to keep yourself on track. I’m all in! =))

  108. I used the ketostix for a while, several years ago, but, I found, as others have, that they were or became unreliable. Would love to have a way to test that tells me if I actually am in ketosis.

  111. What an awesome giveaway. I looked at purchasing this previously. I opted for the ketonix bc it ongoing cost of the strips but found it didn’t work well for me and sent it back. I would love to win this! To this point I am still using strips (been Keto over 6 months), and they work for me, but I know they don’t always work for everyone.

  116. I’m a cancer survivor and believe the keto diet is keeping me healthy! I haven’t done keto testing as it looked prohibitively expensive to do it right.

  118. I would love one of these. I have tested my ketone levels once using my mom’s blood testing kit. It would be awesome to have one of my own so I can monitor my progress. I am also interested how things like almond flour and alcohol affect my ketosis. Thanks for all you do!

  121. I haven’t used a ketone monitor before as I’ve always gone by the way I felt but have been thinking more about being in ketosis. It would definitely be nice to know where my level is.

  124. I have tested my ketones before but I feel like the strips cost too much money to just test when I want to. I wish I could test once a week. Maybe I should do every other week… if I had a monitor and strips given to me I would definitely save every strip and use them sparingly like I’m doing now!

  137. I’ve never tried Ketone testing before, but would definitely like to try. Currently I’m testing my blood sugar levels both AM before eating and PM an hour after dinner. Even tho’ I’m not considered diabetic, or even pre-diabetic, I have too much circulating blood sugar. Also, I very rarely feel that I’m in ketosis. Don’t know if it’s a metabolism thing, age, pancreas issues or what. My naturopath and I are trying to get to the bottom of it. This might give us a little more insight into what’s going on.

  139. I would love to use this to keep track of my progress! I have tested my ketones before, but the monitor I have is really costly for the strips, and I haven’t used it in a while because it seemed really inconsistent, making me question its accuracy. Mainly I go off of how I feel. I have been keto for a little over a year, lost 67lbs, and pretty much got rid of all my PCOS symptoms except I’m still trying to overcome infertility! My hubby and I have been trying for 4 years. Your blog, recipes, and now your cookbooks have been vital to my success! Thanks Carolyn for all your hard work and dedication, and for doing giveaways out of the goodness of your own heart!

  181. I have tested for ketones but did find the strips got old really fast and the cost of strips were prohibitive! My husband and I just finished mortar washing our house and although I kept up with keto meals (a lot of instant pot help) the first week, we then resorted to cheap (unhealthy) take out for the first time since we started keto in 2003. Boy, it was NOT pretty! My husband gained 15# and I won’t get near the scale! We are back on track and feeling so much better. ( We did save a lot doing the work ourselves… our conciliation!)

  187. I have just started Keto way of eating. I bought your book and I think this would be a great tool to let me know if I am on the right track and keep me on track. I would have no problem purchasing one but I foster 3 children and I don’t have the money at this time. I know that people will say you get paid to foster but I am a family placement and the paperwork got massively messed up and I have been 8 1/2 months waiting for them to straighten it out with no outcome in the foreseeable future – lot to fit into a nutshell but that is why I can’t purchase it at this time. I have tried to use the urine strips but they don’t work all that well for me and I don’t know if it is my body or the strips not working.
    I hope you feel better soon… lots of people are getting colds right now and you were around a lot on the book signing tour….. I am enjoying your book very much.. the photography in it is very nice as well.

  188. Yes! Began Keto WOE with husband in June. Tried the regular strips and have had the same experience you did and also have been just assuming we stay in moderate ketosis. It would be great to know for sure how we are doing. Great product and thank you for the giveaway!

  189. I’ve tested (usually unsuccessfully) with KetoStix but the blood test strips are out of my price range. If they were less than a dollar a piece, I’d be more inclined to do so.

  191. I have only used the urine test strips but even on very low carb days (10-15 net carbs) I only ever tested in the low to low moderate range. It would be interesting to see the difference in testing with this monitor. It’s great to see there is finally a monitor that uses somewhat affordable test strips.

  200. I’ve been eating low carb for 2 years and lost some weight then I moved to Keto and lost some more and was happier eating that way over all. Lately, I’m guessing the stress of traveling and our daughters wedding and being seriously sick stalled me and can’t figure out how to get back to losing again. Going back to what I had been doing isn’t cutting it now and I’m not sure why. I need to look into a ketone monitor. Thanks for your blog and recipes I use them often.

  201. I’ve been attempting to follow keto for awhile, but I’m being pretty lazy and I don’t quite have it down yet. But my glucose has improved. I really want a meter to test ketone because I think it might help me stay on track.

    I also just bought your cookbook last night. Yours is the first I’ve come across written by a fellow type 2 diabetic doing keto. So thank you! Looking forward to trying the recipes!

  206. I love your recipes, both in your new book and the recipes on your blog! I’ve been following the Keto lifestyle since July 3rd, but haven’t yet tested my ketone levels. As a public school teacher and a mom of 4 high school aged kids (triplets, plus one), buying a monitor isn’t in the budget. I’d love to be able to monitor my levels.

  209. I have only used the iron strips before with the same results of them not working after a certain point. I thought it was because I forgot to replace the cap one day. I am just starting back into a low carb/ketogenic diwt now that my baby is 4 months old and this would be awesome to use to monitor being in the right zone since I am still going to breastfeed. I know that supply can drop significantly with a low carb diet and I’d hate to lose out on feeding my miracle baby!

  211. I have never tested my ketone levels. It would be nice to know if I am on the right track. I don’t chase macros, only keep my carbs low, under 20 total per day, and add fat to everything. I don’t loose weight no matter what I do, but my Blood sugars are down and am off some medications. So…here’s to my fingers are crossed for a win! Lol

  212. I started the kept diet after meeting you in Houston. I jump right in on this past monday. Don’t know exactly what I am doing but I did buy the urine strips and by day 3 I am at a moderate level. I guess that is good. My second dinner included your cauliflower rice mushroom risotto. OH MUY BUENO. Would be wonderful to win this kit.

  216. Urine ketones are notoriously inaccurate. It would be so encouraging to be able to show my patients’ their efforts (with the help of your fabulous book) had paid off and put them into kerosis by measuring their blood ketones with this meter in my office.

  224. I have never tracked ketones in any way but I would love to. Currently, I test my blood sugar a few times a week and often times after eating new foods that are “low carb” just to see how they affect my blood sugar. Thanks for doing the video!

    Reply

  232. I just started my keto journey, have tried the urine strips but not sure about results. The strips don’t seem to change color like they are supposed to, and I’m pretty sure it’s too early to be in ketosis, so this meter would be a nice complement to my blood sugar meter.
    I was diagnosed as a diabetic a year ago. I keep my blood sugars low by staying low carb and moderately high fat, it seems to be working as my last A1C was 6.2 and my doctor was thrilled….even more so since I did it all without any medications! 😀

  236. I’ve used the (I’m forgetting the name of it now of course – the little gizmo you blow into to measure your breath ketones). I found it somewhat helpful though I finally stopped measuring my ketones since I got kind of fixated on my measurements. I decided to take a break for a while and just concentrate on enjoying my food and adapting to my new lifestyle. However, I’ve always heard that blood ketone measurements are the most accurate so I would use this probably a few times a week just to keep track of my process.

  242. I began the Keto lifestyle back in January and started with the urin strips. Now days I can kind of tell when I’m in and when I’m out. I’ve considered purchasing the breath tester.

  304. I have tested using keto strips, but after a few months on low carb diet, and you have lost 30-50 lbs, your ketone profile changes to the point that the pee strips don’t work any more. I basically tracked when I was losing weight and kept a “symptoms of ketosis” diary, and now I kinda just “know” when I’m in the right place. It doesn’t take much to knock me out of ketosis at this point.

  323. I used to test my fasted ketones/glucose every morning and I found it to be a very useful tool in the beginning of my ketogenic journey when I wrote down everything and figured out how I felt correlates with what the numbers said. After awhile, though, it became very expensive and I was only able to afford to test glucose. Around my 6 months of following my ketogenic lifestyle, I purchased a Ketonix (a breath analyzer) and have been using it ever since. I love my Ketonix because I have compared those results to how I feel and it has saved me a lot of money. I listen to a lot of Ketogenic podcasts and read a lot of blogs and always find that they want to know your blood ketone readings. I would love to be able to test my blood again – and winning the Keto Mojo would give me that knowledge.

I’d like to receive one of these because although the strips say I’m just barely in ketosis, I am doing everything right, even tracking all my foods by full nutrient breakdown.
