1. First, it is FDA approved and to achieve that it needs to be proven accurate. Unlike most meters even glucose-only meters, it comes with calibration fluid. Second, I tested it against a blood glucose meter and they tested within 5 of each other. It also comes with calibration for the Keto side.
2. People complain the strips cost more for the new meter and the company says they cost less. They cost less for the new meter by a lot. People also complain that they are bundled and they don't want equal amounts of each. The company sells them separately on their web site, and they say they sell pairs here because that's what most people want. At first I thought, I want them separate and I'll use my glucose meter and save some money, but you don't. The Keto strips on their own went from $1 to 80 cents each when bought on their own. Purchased as pairs, 60 glucose plus 60 ketone strips sold together cost $60, making them each 80 cents for ketone strips and 20 cents for glucose strips, making the glucose strips cost 2 cents less than for my glucose meter. If you are on a Keto diet, you need both to calculate the Glucose Ketone Index (GKI) so there is no reason to maintain two monitors.
3. For $45 you get a case (semi-hard), the monitor (with light on the end to illuminate the blood draw area and strip eject slide), with Bluetooth capabilities mobile app (that calcs GCI, displays individual sets of readings with both a graph and explanation of how with an explanation of how ketogenic you are, stores, readings and graphs trends in glucose, ketones, and GKI, enables hiding experimental food readings you don't want included in the trend ), batteries, finger stick (top notch with lancet eject), bunch of lancets, 20 glucose and 20 keto strips, calibration fluid for both glucose and keto, a quick start guide, and lots of stuff nobody reads, but no alcohol pads which I don't use anyway. $20's worth of that is in strips, so you are paying $25 for the nicest monitor and accessories out there.
Experiences:
1. The case and/or the meter suffers from a design problem in that any time you open, close, or touch the case, the meter turns on inside. I've found the best way to mitigate that is to put the meter into the case face-side-up and upside down in its pocket, and push the finger stick all of the way to one side. This way the button is not under the elastic netting and the finger stick hits the meter in an area offset from the button thereby preventing anything from pressing on it.
2. Android App: If you follow the Quick Start Guide instructions directions on the sheet that comes with it, the Android app will not work with the new GK+ meter. However, their lightning fast e-mail support gave me the procedure to get it to work as well as another question I had asked.
The following is the key information required to get the Android app to work:
Quote from Keto Mojo's tech support: "We have removed the requirement for location permissions and we are now using Android's Companion Device to sync the meters.
This has changed a few things:
1. When you get the screen "Link with Keto-Mojo", based on your description, you will need to tap the name of your meter where the Bluetooth icon shows next to it. It won't progress to syncing until you do. This will link the meter with your phone and start the synchronization. If you have previous readings because you added the app later, it will read everything in the monitor the first time it syncs.
2. The next time you sync with the same meter, it won't ask you to link again and will just start syncing like before. If you want to sync with a different meter, the app will find it and you can link that meter too, but you can only be linked with one meter at a time.
Another key piece of information about the app:
Quote from Keto Mojo's tech support: Neither the app nor the meter have the ability to delete individual readings; however, the app has the capability to hide individual readings that will not show up in your app or be calculated in trends. To hide a reading: Tap on the reading you want to hide, tap on "hide reading" under the reading display. That's all there is to it! To unhide the readings, go to your settings and under Data, select "Restore" next to Hidden Readings. NOTE: This will restore all hidden readings, as we do not have the ability to restore individually hidden readings at this time. However, you can set date limits the window for trends and graphs.
Setting the date and time manually if you cannot get the app to work or have no eligible device:
*Their direction to do that to "hold the button down 3 or more seconds" will not work properly. If you try that, you will miss settings and the reason will be apparent why as you read.
- Concept of operation: The side buttons adjust the readings up and down, while the front button accepts and progresses to the next setting.
- To get it into the setting mode: Instead of momentarily pressing the front button to turn it on as you do with normal operation, you push and hold the front button until the screen lights and then release immediately. If you follow Keto Mojo's instructions you will have already progressed and approved several settings without ever having seen them.
- When pushing the front button to approve and advance to the next setting, push it very briefly because a normal press will often cause it to approve the next setting without you ever seeing it, giving the appearance that it skipped it. If this happens to you, you simply have to go through the process again an approve until you get the previously skipped setting. You cannot go backwards.
Bottom line: Not so long ago, measuring keytones was quite expensive. Today it is not, and to have a single meter and app that automates the visibility required to manage your keto lifestyle makes makes buying the Keto Mojo GK+ a no-brainer. Since I have no diabetic issues, I keep my old glucose monitor in the glove box of my car in the event I am in a situation where it might prove useful to help someone, which also has happened three times already, once a guy who got lost on the way to the doctor's office for a fasting glucose test, another time at a wedding when things got way behind schedule and a guy couldn't stand by himself or figure out how to get into a car, and another time when a guy was trying to clock in swiping a quarter instead of his badge.
Update: I would not want to be without this meter and app. It's ability to calculate and track my GKI is required to know what affects your fat burning. For instance, I learned the regular coffee spikes my glucose and devastates my keytones whereas decaff does not. Stimulants make me fat, not thin as advertised, and that is backed up by the scale as well.
