I'm in Canada, but I may be able to order stuff from an American website too, depending on the shipping costs.
Thanks for your help.

The Precision Xtra was the meter of choice, but recently the Keto Mojo has got a lot of attention. The problem with both of these is the cost of the ketone strips. I am currently using the Care Touch Ketone Testing Kit from Amazon because the meter was $38USD and the strips are $38USD for 50 strips. They all are supposed to measure glucose within 15%, so I doubt there is much difference in accuracy. Not sure if there are standards for ketone accuracy, but I don't really care about the number itself as much as when and what causes changes. So far, I have been happy with the Care Touch, but I cannot say how it will hold up long term. If you measure often, you should consider the price of strips.
