I use that meter and eat for therapeutic ketosis, not so much for fat loss. At age 75 I want as clear a mind as I can muster and pain control.
Osteoarthritis is in my joints and until recently I took no pain meds because the anti-inflammatory part of being in deep ketosis was enough. At present, I'm being treated for hip-joint arthritis pain with prescription-grade ibuprofen and hope it will be enough.
I can report that before I started eating to deep ketosis, my arthritis pain, especially in my hands, was excruciating. I'm so grateful that I'm able to handle pain in a natural way (most of the time.) My blood ketones usually measure between 1-3 mmol/L.
