This was my first time using a blood ketone meter. I have used urine test strips before but feel they are too subjective to give accurate results. I did quite a bit of research and found the keto mojo to be my choice because it tracks both ketones and glucose. Additionally, the strips are inexpensive compared to other units.
I am going to track my ketones and keep a record of them. I like to read spreadsheets since I'm a numbers girl. I think it will help make sense and give me some ideas on the impact different foods and going to the gym do to the overall fat burning from week to week. Stay tuned for a more in depth review of my little experiment.
I am not a doctor or medical professional. This video is just for fun and for information purposes only!

HI Jess Here are some tips from a nurse. The sides of your finger tips have less nerve endings so its not at painful (I’ve been told by patients) using the side of the finger tips. There is a face book group that are types one Diabetics and their title is “let me be 83”. Thats their goal for their blood sugars. As you probably are aware the current recommendation for these fragile folks is “eat what ever you want but give yourself insulin”. They very quickly get very high insulin and become severely insulin resistant over their life. They also develops all the manifestations of elevated blood sugars, including diabetic nephropathy, cataracts, retinopathy, and glaucoma. They usually start early with nerve damage and that can affect all the nerves in the body. The worst I have seen is severe gastroparesis . The is where the nerves are damaged around the esophagus and the food is delayed going down. Imagine you are a diabetic and your suppose to estimate how much insulin to use for the food your are about to eat. You give yourself insulin and the food does not get to the stomach because its delays and the insulin drives your blood sugar into dangerous low blood sugar. Most of the type ones are not low carb because of what the Diabetes association tells them to eat. Dr Richard Bernstein is a 80 year old type one who treats type ones and type two’s. He says 83 is what normal people who are insulin sensitive and believes we should all be 83. He has a great book "Diabetes Solution" and a you tube channel called "Diabetes University". I was diagnosed with pre-diabetes and I no longer am pre-diabetes. I am kind of nerd and like data and find this education related to obesity and Diabetes, super interesting. I have some other tips. Here is Dr Jeffrey Gerbers talk at the last low carb conference. He states that when we start getting closer to our goal we will need to lower our fat intake. At about 3/4 of the way through the talk he shows a scale that shows how to calculate that. th-cam.com/video/nkxHmrKwcwQ/w-d-xo.html I am 65 and a soon to be retired RN living in Canada. I too lost weigh (70 pounds 2 years ago). Was up and down my whole life. Never thought I could stay at a goal weight (130 pounds now for 2 years) without being extremely hungry. I just love this WOE. I have been watching you for a while but usually I view you on my TV which doesn’t allow me to subscribe. So today I needed to make an effort to turn on my computer and subscribe. You journey is exciting and fun to watch. Thank you for your generosity of allowing us into your life.
Thank you! I appreciate the tips!
I always test on the side. Saves the pad of my fingers for day to day stuff.
You can check your GKI (glucose, Keto index) blood sugar 82 divided by 18 = 4.55 divided by Ketones 1.2 = 3.79. below 3 is ideal, 3-6 is moderate level, 6-9 is low level. All the info is on keto mojo's website....great job Jess!!
Love your darker hair color. Thanks for sharing results of meter
Hi Jess, I'm a T2D so I test my blood sugar everyday. Since starting Keto I find that I feel my best and lose more fat when my BS's are 70-85. Your readings are perfect. Thanks for the demo. 👍😊
Jess I love your new hair color. Darker is more sophisticated on you😉!
Wow Jess, you look terrific! Love the darker hair, makes your beautiful eyes stand out! Looking sorta like the "girl next door!"
Your hair is amazing in this darker shade.
I have the Ketomojo too. I have lost 30 lbs and have 20 to go. I really enjoy your videos and thank you for documenting your journey it helps so many people.
You're face has really thinned out. You were already beautiful, before, but you have a bonus glow now. I'm so proud of you!!
Keto Mojo is a pretty accurate meter for glucose, I've tested it against my Bayer, very close😉 If you set your Lancet device to the deepest setting and squeeze a good drop of blood, you can use the same drop for both strips, and won't have to restick😉😁💖 Just remember to hold the strip up to the droplet, and let it pull it in, so the drop stays round, that will make it possible to use it twice. Try to use only your index and middle fingers, easier, and use the side, not pad of your finger ( less sensitive). Be aware that even the most accurate monitors will have a margin of fluctuation, you'll see this if you test the SAME drop of blood, for glucose, you'll almost always get different numbers, sometimes VERY different, lol😉😁💖
Hi Jess, great video. I also use the Keto Mojo and it’s great to see how different food affects your blood glucose and ketones. Dr Boz has a ratio, which is obtained by dividing the glucose by the ketones and if your ratio, “number” is 80 or below your body is in fat burning mode, 40 and below means that the inmune system is in repair mode and autophagy is in full swing ang 20 and below is used to treat cancer patients. So using this kind of meters are really good to know where one is. Love your channel and thanks so much for all your help. ❤️
Thanks!! I will check Dr. Boz out!
What a nifty gadget. Now you can check exactly what raises your blood sugar and if any specific food throws you out of ketosis. Nice! Thanks for the discount code! Loving following your journey, so inspiring! Blessings!
Jess,love the dark hair,I enjoy your videos,I feel I have a new friend,Keep up the good work❤
You can use the same drop of blood for both the insulin and glucose check. Just squeeze your finger again if needed. Change your sharp for each use: place the puncture mark to be on the side of your finger tab. If you want to determine tour keto glucose index then just divide your glucose by ketones. Under 80 is great for weightloss and if your index number is under 40 thats great for people with autoimmune diseases or health issues. I love your videos and have enjoyed following your journey.
Thanks for the suggestion of keeping track of my macros.... I just got the premium carb manager and I think I can do this...... like you I wing it and hate keeping track.ive lost #’s but I’m sure I could’ve lost more if I monitored my success.18 down and 99 to go....thanks for all you do. You’re precious 👍🏽
Great job Linda I'm just starting my journey I hope I can make it work
Dawn Couch we’ll make it work !
Testing glucose is a good idea too. I'm curious to know if you ever tested your glucose at your highest weight. 82 is normal and actually very good. 88 an hour after eating is excellent. I test regularly as I am insulin resistant so I know where the numbers are supposed to be. You're doing great, Jess. Guess I should say too is that you will get different readings from different fingers. Not a huge difference but definitely interesting to note. I will often use my baby finger and my pointer finger to test but never in the same day as the variance can be several points difference.
Your hair looks good . The darker color makes you look younger and your face is glowing. You look gorgeous keep up the good work 🙌🏻
You are so brave, I sit there for almost 20min to pump myself before picking myself.
Love your instructions. A higher camera angle that includes more, would help us see more detail. Thanks for all you do!
Jess, if you wash your hands with hot water it will make the blood run easier. I am a diabetic and have had this problem, especially in cold weather.
Jess I loved the meter video. You are so fortunate that blood sugar is so good. Made your Bagels and love loved them, thanks so much !!
Those are great numbers. Blood sugar 60 to 100 is normal. Ketosis is after .5 but the higher could be better fat burnining.
I found you from your encouraging comments on Keto in The Chaos skin video, I am looking forward to watching this channel
I enjoy having my keto mojo. It's a helpful little device, but not something you have to have.
your hair looks gorgeous.. I love the dark on you.. Great video chica xoxo
I also have the Keto Mojo, I understand it might not be necessary, but I'm glad we invested in it. I like once a month to test my glucose especially, to know I am on track. Interesting to know about Ketosis also. Also to know if certain sugar substitutes spike my insulin. Thanks for the video, you know I appreciate all you do and thank you for allowing us to share in your journey.
I love your hair color! Looks gorgeous on you!
I have a Keto Coach meter coming today. I already own a glucose meter. I have a whole week of experiments planned... 🤣 I like to treat my keto diet like a hobby, and doing "investigations" keeps me on track and motivated.
That reading is really good. Dr Boz ratio of 68 is awesome and definitely in weight loss range!
Your glucose numbers are excellent
This was one of your best videos.
You look amazing, and u inspire me so much
Try the side of your finger. It works a lot better. Love the Keto Mojo for testing. But the strips are very expensive. Wish they would come down on the prices. I'm with you though and think the strips are a little inaccurate!
Glad to catch an update. Now that you are testing, you should follow Dr. Boz (if you aren’t already). She posts her number on Instagram too and it is fun to watch her. I test and use her Dr. Boz ratio to help me strive for autophagy. Fun stuff.
Ouch!!! I don't think I can be poking my self every time. Thanks for sharing and that is a nice tracker.
Please do continue this because I think I have been misunderstanding how ketosis works all this time.
Hi Jess, thanks for the review!! Try using the side of the tips of your fingers. Not so many nerve endings. I used to be diabetic, before keto. we we know these little tricks.
To drive your blood down to your hands quickly you can just swing your arm around a few times. Be careful you don’t hit any furniture. That sends the blood down to your tips quickly. I need to do this myself occasionally as I have an auto immune condition called Raynauds. The nerves clamp down on the blood vessels in my fingers when I experience cold and drive the blood from my fingers and this causes pain. So in order to quickly bring blood back to my fingers once I have come inside from the cold, I use the above method to drive the blood back into my tips. The lack of blood means my finger tips have less oxygen. That can cause death to some tiny vessels. It is rare to get gangrene but it has been documented. I am extremely protective of my fingers.
Great info. As always, thank you for taking your time to share and inform us about what’s out there
I like mine! A few tips, try the side of your index finger. Also, do the glucose first & ketones second something to do the with the blood oxidizing with the oxygen. I like having numbers too, kinda nerdy about that stuff 😉
If you put your fingers together like your praying and pull your palms out like your making a steeple with your hands....anywhere your figures touch is more sensitive when you prick your fingure. So go on the sides and it won't be as bad.
Glucose readings are more important than ketone readings,because it's the release of insulin that prevents fat burning,and if you are low carb/moderate protein that will keep your insulin levels down,and keep you in fat burning mode.
Jess! Hit the needle on the side of your finger...pushing a little hard...
You will have better results with blood.
Thanks Sweetie For Sharing
Love From Pittsburgh Pa ♥️
So do you recommend buying one? Or no?
Hi Jess, yes variables would be really interesting but as you say just for interest and guidance and not to be taken too seriously as it’s the food and exercise that make the difference. It’s been interesting to hear how you came to be overweight and I have been saying this for years that when we see an overweight person it’s not about the food that made us overweight it’s about self worth and how we got to feel worthless in the first place. Unfortunately we choose food as a punishment which we do to hide those feelings of pain inside, It’s easy to say that no matter how much we weigh we should never let anyone make us feel less than worthy but in the end it’s not how others make us feel it’s how we make ourselves feel that matters. It’s been wonderful watching you gain in confidence these last months and I hope you carry on because you are are great inspiration to so many of us , greetings from Norfolk England x
I love your hair this color!!
Did you calibrate your meter for the ketone readings? A special hard plastic strip is included with each box of strips and should be inserted in the meter once to calibrate it before using the strips in that box.
I'm thinking of starting my own youtube channel. I'm inspired by how fast your channel has grown. I'm about 1/3 of the way into my keto journey and have lots and lots of recipe ideas. How long do you spend editing your videos?
Use the side of your finger.... the tips of your fingers are thicker...from testing my mom’s
I was just getting ready to post this same thing! just go a little more to the side of your finger less pain less bruising and easier to catch the blood on the strip.
I've heard the same thing
Yes, using the pads is more uncomfortable because of all the nerve endings in the finger tips.
Your numbers are GREAT
You gave the response I needed, now I know how it works, so you storage ketons and use them for energy, then you eat and create more ketons🔙🔛😁
Awesome numbers
wow look at you! You have done great!
Heck my glucose is 119 after 16 hours of fasting. Hate it but have not started KETO yet.
My bg is 120 every morning after 12 hours of fasting, and still about 100 at noon when I break my 16 hour fast. Much higher than before keto. It lowers after I eat.
I would be curious to see 2 consecutive tests of the same type... I have heard mixed reviews on the keto mojo and of people getting inconsistent results. Like glucose 100 and then 120 seconds later. No idea if this is true or not just stuff I've seen. Would be a good test to try and for us to see! I want to get one! That's a nifty tool.
None of the meters or strips are very reliable since you're burning ketones. It does give a good idea of where you're at though. Your glucose is perfect :)
Can you try glucose test / ketone test after taking Apple cider
Your Dr. Boz ratio is 68. She says that anything under 80 means you are in the weight loss zone. Autophagy comes with a Dr. Boz ratio under 40. The math to do it the other way is hard for those of us who are not so good with math, so she has figured out how to do a ratio that is much easier to figure--dividing the blood glucose by the ketone reading: hence 82 divided by 1.2 is a ratio of 68. I test every morning. I have the finger pricker up on the third notch and hit the side of the finger and I get enough blood for both. 2nd reading after lunch is a ratio of 98. The third is a ratio of 95. That is interesting. Exercising uses up your ketones.
Thank you!
Notice that your blood glucose doesnt go up much because you are eating keto Fasting 82 then 1hour after eating 88 then coming back down only 85. If you were eating carbs your BG after eating would rise and stimulate more insulin secretion toget it back down. It may go up to say 160 or higher after eating before coming back down. Fasting BG range is 60 to 100. 82 is good.
Do you do the GKI calculator to see what stage of Ketosis you are in? If your not familiar, you can google.
The ketones in your blood I believe are the extra you are not burning. Dr. Ken Berry talks about it in a video. Love Dr. Barry
Love your hair dark!
I just got a ketodoc after loosing 120 pounds. I don’t know why just curious. They say after fasting or 4 hours after meals. My morning is always lower than evening.
The doctor's want the bloodsugars to be from 80- 130. I have diabetes so I'm used to taking my bloodsugar every morning.
If you keep pushing on your finger you can usually get more blood out. ☺️
I dont think your suppose to be moving the meter around like that while your testing. I'm not positive but my mom keeps hers on the table and doesn't shake it around..I'm not positive I'm just thinking maybe you will get a diff result if you keep it still
Interesting information.
82 is great don't test first thing in the morning level always higher after sleeping
Very helpful. Thank you
Also they had a device that syncs up your data to the app on your phone
It will also export the data to a csv file that you can import into an excel (or sheets) spreadsheet if you care to have one. You can then do graphs :)
If you test after a workout they will more than likely be low as you've just used most of them up in your workout
Also, shake your hand before pricking your finger.
Why would you get any thumbs down? Such silly people.
Nancy Jackson every time I see a thumbs down on her videos I have a flash to Liam Neeson in Taken... " I will find you and I will ....."😂😂
Did you find it hard to set up? I have one but doing something wrong. I felt the instructions were not very clear.
The setup is just use the code device one time for the ketone strip package. You get one device with each ketone strip package. The code is a 3 digit code.. Once you insert the code device, it will display the 3 digit code. Once setup, then insert a ketone strip.. It should show the same 3 digit code. If it does, you are all set and ready to test. You only need to use that code device one time to set up the meter with that 3 digit code. You will get a new code device (and new 3 digit code) when you buy a new package of ketone strips. I throw away the old code device when I run out of ketone strips and only have on box of strips open at a time.
You don't have to set the code for glucose strips.. Only ketone strips.
Johnny Hughes thank you for the help.
What do you drink before and during the gym?
82 is perfect if you're fasting
I have been stuck at same weight for weeks. Help
If hands are warm you get better blood flow so you don't have to pick yourself so much
After workouts your glucose will increase in many cases.
How much is it
Jess you look gorgeous!!!! I can really tell today in this video how thin you look♥️♥️♥️♥️🥰
nutritional ketosis is 0.5-3.0
Yikes!
Your fingers after awhile going be sore
After workouts your glucose will increase in many cases.
