About BetterMeter Ketone Meter Ketone Breath Analyzer For

If using this product while on a fasting diet keep in mind that: There are two different types of ketones. Beta-hydroxybutyrate (Blood Ketones) and acetoacetate (Breath Ketones). Breath ketone analyzers measure for the ketone body acetoacetate which your body converts to acetone. Readings on this meter may be higher than readings from a blood ketone meter for a short time immediately after coming off of a fast. The reason for this is due to how the meter is designed to detect your current state of ketosis. When fasting, your metabolism is slightly suppressed and your ketone production is high resulting in a build up of blood ketone bodies. (beta-hydroxybutyrate and acetoacetate) When you break the fast, your metabolism picks up and increases the rate you metabolize the acetoacetate into acetone. The insulin your body produces in response to food also inhibits the production of new beta-hydroxybutyrate. All of this causes blood ketones to fall while breath ketones rise for a short while. These levels will begin to level out shortly after your blood ketones begin to return to their normal non-fasted state.
