I got epilepsy and manages it by using a ketogenic diet/lifestyle without drugs. Epilepsy is a condition that I have to live with for the rest of my life, and so is the ketogenic diet and lifestyle. To evaluate how diet and lifestyle affects ketosis, I started out measuring urine and blood ketones. Both methods have their drawbacks. My need for a tool that reflected how ketogenesis changes in realtime started my interest and research on breath ketones (Acetone). The Acetone is spontaneously released from the primary ketone Aceto Acetate. Acetone is less of a metabolite and not dependent on vitamins, minerals, adaptation or fluid logistics as the other ketones.
