Blood Ketone Test Kit

Update: the seller reached out to me and apologized for the missing piece. They sent me a replacement lancet pen and some test strips for the hassle. Wonderful customer service. Thank you. Original review: Luckily I already had a pen from a Glucose monitor kit at home. So I can still draw blood to use the ketone monitor. But I paid for the whole kit and got ripped off. But the monitor seems to work ok. I've been in ketosis for a few weeks now. Just a tip for anyone wanting to do therapeutic keto: test your ketones and glucose and calculate your GKI. Try to keep that GKI number below 3. I've been doing this and my serious symptoms have disappeared. A neurologist said I either have retinal migraines or a type of seizures. Expensive testing would determine which one. Well either way, therapeutic keto can be beneficial so I decided to try that first. And it is working! I'm really proud of myself and would suggest this to anyone with neurological issues. The body can heal itself when given the right tools: sunlight, movement, and nutrition.

Very reasonably priced and works well. Had problems with the test strips, but the seller resolved the issue. Great and prompt customer service! 🙂

I just bought this and was excited to use it. First the cover for the meter batter is very hard to open without lots of force. I didn't keep trying to open it with force because I had already broken of the tip of the code key for the meter. I bought this mostly because of the price and reasonable reviews, but for me, it was a waste of money. I can't use it. If you buy it, go into it know that the key is very fragile and that the battery case may be hard to open. Beyond that, I cannot review how the meter works overall.

Decided to get this when I started a fast to see how my ketone levels would respond to fasting and exercise, and this meter does the job! I probably wasted a few strips trying to figure it out, but that's my fault. What isn't my fault is the unavailability of extra strips: they aren't available at the time of this writing (1/21/2023), and haven't been for a while. So if I want to test my ketone level during another fast, right now, I'd have to buy a completely new ketone tester/monitor, that seems a bit ridiculous. If you don't need more test strips right away (it comes with 15), i can definitely recommend this product. If you, however, need more test strips, look elsewhere or prepare to be patient. Note: If you want to conserve the test strips, I'd suggest using one before a workout and a second one immediately after a workout, that would get you about seven days and a good basis of how your progress is going.

I'm not sure which diet I will start in 2024 but it's that time of the year for Resolutions. At my age, I first will get my doctor's guidance. If the Keto diet is approved, I have the YiLianKang Blood Ketone Meter toolkit to get me started. My husband was a diabetic so I am already quite familiar with using diabetic supplies. Be sure the finger is warm and it's better to prick the side of the finger than using the fingertip. There are 2 helpful videos on the website. The YiLianKang Blood Ketone Meter Kit has a compact storage bag but it's too small to store the instructions. I'm disappointed that a log book wasn't included in the kit. Additional lancets and test strips are available at the YiLianKang Store. I'm happy with the YiLianKang Blood Ketone Meter Kit and impressed with the 5 seconds results.

Lasted less than a year before it quit working and left me with expensive and now unusable test strips. I recommend choosing a brand that is better known and has a warranty, even if the test strips cost more.

Works as intended and is very accurate. Easy to use , but read the directions which are a quick read. Lots of test strips! Good value for the price and just as good as more expensive ones. Highly recommend.

Easy to use and seems to be accurate
