airtyme Amateur Bodybuilder (Total posts: 31)	posted February 18, 2000 09:34 AM I am not sure about the glucometer. But as far as the ketostix goes, you need to start turning it anywhere from lite pink to purple before you are in ketosis. I was down to 4 carns a day and still only turned it lite pink. everyone is different. IP: Logged
snapdragon Amateur Bodybuilder (Total posts: 6)	posted February 18, 2000 09:54 AM From doing the BODYOPUS I remember that Ketostix only measure UNUSED ketones. So if you are active you may be burning ketones so you may never get a purplish reading. That is why you use both--I forget the number check the +/- error for your glucometer but it sounds like you may be "in" ketosis. If you don't already have BODYOPUS it's worth getting. You should be getting at least some pink tho... [This message has been edited by snapdragon (edited February 18, 2000).] IP: Logged
