Welcome to this episode of Prescribing Lifestyle where I dive into my two-week journey with both a continuous ketone meter (CKM) and a continuous glucose meter (CGM). I was contacted by CBO, a company that produces these meters, to trial their products and help promote them.
Key Points Covered:
- Initial Setup and Daily Use:
- I share how I set up both devices using the provided applicators, highlighting the ease of installation and the robust adherence of the CKM compared to the CGM.
- I discuss the resilience of both devices during my regular activities like running, weight lifting, and visits to the sauna.
- Technical Insights and Device Comparison:
- I delve into the functionality of both meters, particularly their performance under different conditions, such as during outdoor runs and in the sauna.
- I provide comparisons between the CKM and CGM, focusing on discrepancies in readings between interstitial fluid and blood measurements.
- Dietary Impact on Ketone Levels:
- I observe how various activities and meal compositions influenced my ketone levels throughout the day, with specific insights on how exercise and protein-rich meals affect these readings.
- Overall Assessment and Practical Advice:
- I evaluate the practical benefits and limitations of using continuous monitoring devices for those on ketogenic diets or interested in biohacking their health.
- I offer advice on how to interpret ketone data and integrate these devices into one's health-focused lifestyle.
