FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
DO I HAVE TO WAIT AFTER EATING/DRINKING?
IF SO, HOW LONG?
Wait at least 30 minutes before performing a ketosis test.
Do not eat, drink, smoke or clean your teeth during this time.
HOW CAN I GET THE MOST ACCURATE TEST RESULTS?
It is important to breathe into the unit correctly. We re-
commend not taking a large breath just before blowing.
Instead, take a regular breath just before blowing and
hold it for two seconds. Then, start to blow. Try to blow
the same way each time you take the test.
DO I NEED TO CHANGE THE MOUTHPIECE
FOR EVERY TEST?
Yes, for hygienic reasons and to ensure a plausible
measurement result, it is recommended to always use a
new mouthpiece for each test and for each user.
WHY IS THE UNIT SHOWING MY BREATH
IS NOT SUFFICIENT?
From the start of the breath test, continue blowing wit-
hout interruption for about three seconds until you feel
a vibration. The vibration indicates that you can stop
blowing. If you still get the indication, try blowing harder
into the mouthpiece as if you were blowing up a balloon.
WHEN AND HOW OFTEN SHOULD THE KETOSIS
TEST BE PERFORMED?
Directly in the morning after getting up, the ketone bo-
dies are usually relatively low. This is due to the natural
increase in cortisol and the associated rise in blood su-
gar. Therefore, the best time to take the test is later in
the morning, or at least before you have had breakfast.
The frequency is at individual discretion. Note: In the
case of ketoadapted athletes, a very strong increase in
blood sugar is often noticeable after training.
