Accurate and strangely inspiring
The first stick I used showed I was already in ketosis which made me nervous, as I did not think I had been strict enough for long enough to show ketones.  A couple hours later I got the same result.  I then had two people who are not eating low-carb to control test them for me to make sure they do not just turn pink for everyone.  The sticks passed those tests with flying colors.  Or rather no color change at all, as should be the case.<br /><br />A week or so later I had a few too many carbs at a banquet, and the next day the sticks showed I left ketosis briefly then gradually showed more ketones over the course of the day.  I am impressed by how responsive they seem to be.<br /><br />I feel great and, for whatever reason, I feel the sticks really help encourage me to stick to my low-carb lifestyle more than the fact that I feel so much better when I eat this way.  The day after that banquet I returned to my pre-diet gastro issues and lethargy.  You'd think that would be enough to keep me eating like this but it just isn't.  That is bizarre to me, but it is true.  You'd think one's own health and feeling great and lsoing about two pounds per week would be enough inspiration but, for me at least, making a little stick turn pink is just this tiny little win that keeps me on track.<br /><br />What's really great is that these are inexpensive enough that I can use one several times a day without feeling frivolous.
