Keto-Mojo GK+ Glucose and Ketone Meter Kit

One meter that reads both blood ketones and glucose, which also lets you follow the glucose ketone index. Keto-Mojo built its name on cheaper strips than the pharmacy brands, and strips are where the real cost of this hobby sits.

Urine strips tell you what your body is throwing away. A blood meter tells you what is actually circulating, which is the number that matters once you are past the first few weeks.

What to look for

  • The cost per strip, which is where the real spend is. The meter itself is often sold near cost
  • Strip availability in your region before you commit to a system
  • Dual ketone and glucose meters if you want to track the glucose ketone index
  • A kit that includes lancets and a lancing device so you are ready on day one

How to use it

Test at the same time each day, ideally in the morning before eating, so your readings are comparable. Nutritional ketosis usually sits somewhere between 0.5 and 3.0 mmol per litre.

The catch

The strips cost one to two dollars each, so daily testing becomes a real monthly bill. Most people only need a few weeks of readings to learn what works for them.
