Keto Mojo Monitor: Easy Steps To Use It

The Keto-Mojo GK+ meter is a dual test kit for glucose and ketones that helps you manage your keto diet and diabetes by testing for ketosis and blood sugar levels. The kit includes a meter, 20 blood test strips (10 each for glucose and ketones), 20 lancets, a lancing device, and control solutions. To test your ketone levels, insert a fresh Keto-Mojo ketone strip into the meter and wait until the meter shows the code that matches the number on the vial of strips and the droplet icon is flashing. Prick your fingertip with the lancing device and ensure you get a blood droplet about half the size of a matchstick head. With the strip still in the meter, bring the tip to the droplet, and it will draw in the blood. Wait for the countdown before removing the strip and getting your result. Testing your glucose levels follows a similar process, but with a Keto-Mojo glucose strip.

Insert a fresh, unused test strip into the meter

To test your ketone levels with a Keto-Mojo meter, you must first insert a fresh, unused Keto-Mojo ketone strip into your Keto-Mojo meter. The meter will then check ("CH") until the meter shows the code that matches the number on the vial of strips and the droplet icon is flashing. This is an important step to ensure that your meter is working correctly and that the test strip is properly inserted.

It is important to note that the Keto-Mojo meter comes with two types of test strips: ketone strips and glucose strips. Make sure you are using the correct type of test strip for the test you want to perform. The ketone strips will help you measure your ketone levels, while the glucose strips will help you measure your blood glucose levels.

Once the meter shows the matching code and flashing droplet icon, you can move on to the next step of pricking your fingertip and drawing blood. This step must be completed within three minutes, as the meter will shut off automatically after three minutes to conserve power.

By following these steps and paying attention to the indicators on the meter, you can ensure that you are correctly using a fresh, unused test strip with your Keto-Mojo meter to obtain accurate ketone level readings.

Prick a clean, dry area of your fingertip with the lancing device

To use the Keto-Mojo meter, you will need to prick your fingertip with the lancing device. This is a simple process but must be done correctly to ensure accurate results.

Firstly, ensure your hands are clean and dry. Using the lancing device, prick the side of your fingertip—this is usually less painful than the pad of your finger. It is important to only prick the very tip of your finger, as this will ensure the blood droplet is large enough.

Apply gentle pressure to your finger to create a blood droplet about half the size of a matchstick head. It is important that the blood droplet is not too small, as this can affect the accuracy of your reading. You have three minutes to get a reading before the meter will shut off, so there is no need to rush.

With your blood droplet ready, you can now take your reading.

Get a blood droplet about half the size of a matchstick head

To get a blood droplet about half the size of a matchstick head, you'll need to prick your fingertip with the lancing device that comes included with the Keto-Mojo meter. Before you do this, make sure the area of your fingertip you'll be pricking is clean and dry.

You only have 3 minutes to get a reading before the meter shuts off, so it's important to act quickly after pricking your finger. With the strip still inserted in the meter, bring the tip of the strip into contact with the droplet on your finger. The strip will then draw in the blood via capillary action.

If you're having trouble getting a big enough blood sample, try using a new strip and gently touching the end of the strip to the blood droplet so that it travels up the channel freely. You can also try using a bigger blood sample.

Bring the test strip to the droplet, it will draw in the blood

To test your ketone or glucose levels with a Keto-Mojo meter, you will need to prick your fingertip with the included lancing device and obtain a blood droplet about half the size of a matchstick head. You then have three minutes to obtain a reading before the meter will shut off.

With the strip still in the meter, bring the tip of the strip to the droplet on your finger. On contact, it will draw in the blood via capillary action. It is important to wait for the meter to start counting down before moving the strip from the blood droplet.

Once the countdown begins, wait for the unit to finish counting down and then it will give you your result.

If you are having issues with the strip filling with blood, try gently touching the end of the strip to the blood droplet so that it travels up the channel freely. It is also important not to pull your finger away until the meter begins counting down.

Wait for the countdown and result

Once you've pricked your finger and have a blood droplet about half the size of a matchstick head, you have 3 minutes to get a reading before the meter will shut off. With the strip still in the meter, bring the tip of the strip to the droplet on your finger. On contact, it will draw in the blood via capillary action. It's important that you wait for the meter to start counting down before moving the strip from the blood droplet. Then, simply wait while the unit counts down and then gives you your result.
