Look at Amazon. There are not many options for dual function ( Glu + Ket) meter. Other option is to use Glucometer + urine ketone test strip.

Hi I don’t use them myself but from another forum I am on I know that several people test for ketosis with the AT6000 on Amazon. Apparently there is a knack to using it but once cracked gives good results. Also gleaned from the other forum is that testing using pee sticks isn’t that accurate.

Regular testing for blood glucose can leave you with very sore fingers, so unless you have to I’d give that a miss. If you do need to do it some health authorities do provide monitors, or have a look on Amazon for ideas.

I would have thought separate testing would be better as testing for glucose and ketones would be complicated in one machine due to them being very different things.

Not what you're looking for?
