Keto Mojo: Understanding The Right Gauge Size

The Keto-Mojo meter is a tool for testing ketone and glucose levels. It is used by people following a keto or low-carb diet for weight loss, diabetes, general health benefits, or therapeutic purposes. The meter comes with a lancet device, which is used to draw blood from the fingertip. Most 28-30 gauge lancets fit the Keto-Mojo meter.

Lancets for the Keto-Mojo meter are inexpensive and can be found at any local pharmacy or drugstore

Lancets are an essential component of the Keto-Mojo meter kit, used to prick the finger and draw blood for glucose and ketone testing. The good news is that lancets for the Keto-Mojo meter are widely available and affordable. You can find them at any local pharmacy or drugstore, and they are also carried in stores like Walgreens, CVS, and Rite-Aid.

When purchasing lancets, it is recommended to buy a brand that works with a generic device, usually called a universal lancet, and is twist-top. Most 28-30 gauge lancets fit the Keto-Mojo meter, and some recommended brands include TRUEplus Universal Twist Top, EasyTouch Twist Lancets, and One Step Twist Top Single-Use Lancets. These lancets are often sold in packs of 100 and are very reasonably priced, typically ranging from $4 to $15.

It is important to note that lancets are intended for single-use only, as they are only sterile for the first use and can become dull and contaminated with repeated use. Additionally, proper disposal of used lancets is crucial, as they are considered medical waste or "sharps." Sharps boxes are recommended for home use, and many pharmacies sell these boxes at reasonable prices and allow for their return when full.

Overall, lancets for the Keto-Mojo meter are easily accessible and affordable, making them a convenient and essential tool for those utilizing the Keto-Mojo meter for health monitoring.

The Keto-Mojo meter comes with a lancet device that looks like a fat pen

The Keto-Mojo meter comes with a lancet device that resembles a fat pen and is used to obtain a blood sample for a Keto-Mojo glucose or ketone test. The device has a spring loader, a trigger, and a depth selector. It is designed to be easy to use and provides a quick and relatively painless puncture.

To use the lancet device, first remove the white cap by twisting it to the right. Insert a sterile lancet into the lancing device by pushing it firmly into the holder. Twist the protective disk on top until it separates from the lancet; this disk will be used later for safe lancet disposal. Do not twist the lancet itself, but you may need to straighten it manually. Snap the cap of the lancet device back on by twisting it to the left.

The lancet device has six puncture depth settings, allowing you to adjust the depth of the puncture to your preferred level. Smaller numbers are for a shallower puncture, while larger numbers are for a deeper puncture. A shallower puncture may be suitable for children and some adults, while a deeper puncture may be necessary for individuals with thick or callused skin. To adjust the depth, twist the cap of the device to select your desired setting.

Once you have adjusted the depth, pull the grey knob at the end of the device until you hear a click. This will activate the device and you will see an orange colour in the button on the side. Hold the lancet device firmly against the side of your finger and press the clear button to initiate the puncture. Remove the device from your finger and gently squeeze your fingertip to form a round drop of blood. If the blood smears or runs, dry the area and try again or puncture a new site.

It is important to note that lancets are intended for single-use only. Reusing lancets can be unsafe, more painful, and may contaminate your test results. Additionally, always dispose of lancets properly in a "sharps" container to prevent harm to others.

The lancet device has six puncture-depth settings

The Keto-Mojo lancet device comes with every Keto-Mojo kit and is an essential tool for obtaining a blood sample for glucose and ketone testing. The device looks like a fat pen and is designed to provide ultimate safety and comfort when obtaining blood samples.

To adjust the puncture depth, simply twist the cap of the lancet device to select your preferred setting. It is recommended to start with a shallower puncture, as it may be less painful, and then increase the depth gradually until you obtain a blood sample with sufficient volume.

The Keto-Mojo lancet device also features an adjustable tip with seven levels of skin penetration, making it easy to personalise your experience and ensure a comfortable blood-drawing process.

The Keto-Mojo meter uses 28-30 gauge lancets

When purchasing lancets for your Keto-Mojo meter, look for universal lancets with a twist-top design. Most 28-30 gauge lancets will fit the Keto-Mojo meter, and the following brands have been confirmed to be compatible:

• TRUEplus Universal Twist Top
• EasyTouch Twist Lancets
• One Step Twist Top Single Use Lancets

The Keto-Mojo meter kit includes a lancing device and a small supply of lancets to get you started. However, you will need to purchase additional lancets separately as you continue to use the meter.

In addition to the lancets and lancing device, the Keto-Mojo meter kit also includes the meter itself, test strips, control solutions, batteries, and a carrying case. The meter connects to a free smartphone app that allows you to track your ketone and glucose levels over time and calculate your Glucose Ketone Index (GKI), an important measure of metabolic health.
