Not sure if it's a website glitch but when adding the test strips to cart it automatically adds a Glucose/B-Ketone meter (Non Bluetooth) as a free gift. No mention of the free meter that I can find on the website but I can confirm I ordered last week and received both the strips and the free meter.
Standard delviery to Sydney metro for me was $7.95
Useful if you're thinking of starting or are on a keto diet!
I have bought those piss strips in a plastic bottle off Ebay, but after opening them and using a few the humidity quickly destroys the rest. Is that the problem you are referring to?
That, but moreso if you’ve been in ketosis for a while, your urine may not give you an accurate reading and your levels may be off as your body has adapted to the diet - that’s where a monitoring system like this comes in handy.
Since I’m doling unsolicited advice can I please encourage everyone who’s considering this diet to initially get their bloodwork done and assess their baseline HDL/LDL cholesterol levels, then re-assess after a month.
That, and please be conscious of the types of fats you consume in this diet. It’s not a free ticket to eat KFC or smash bacon.
I want to buy it to check my blood glucose level but feels like impulse buying.
While the meter reads blood glucose, I think you need to buy different test strips.
Since BG meters are usually free (see past Deals) - saving this $20, it's just the test strips that cost. (If you are Diabetic, usually the first 6 month supply is heavily susidised.)
Some GPs offer free blood glucose testing etc when seeing the GP. Mine does. Otherwise get a referral to the Pathologist. There are probably other ways to get tested.
Where to get extra strips?
Go to Deal. 10 strips for $11.99 + $7.95 Postage.
Hi OP, did you had to buy your own lancets and lancing device or was it included in the pack. Thanks
Included in the pack with the meter
It says it measures cholesterol, does anyone know how you use it for that and what data it gives you (just total cholesterol or breakdown of LDL, HDL, Triglycerides)
Anyone end up getting the free meter?
I'm still waiting for a refund as all they sent me were the strips.
These are better than the pee strips if you’re assessing yourself for ketosis, just an FYI for those who are just starting out on the diet.
