Also did a quick perplexity search, and DLW and being in ketosis has 'issues', which you can dig in more with the studies it links. I also ran into a similar issue with the lumen, which is a RER device when I was in ketosis, and they have it on their support / FAQ page that it isn't accurate when you are in keto.

So as a guy who has been in long term ketosis, I'm not super surprised that DLW isn't potentially accurate since the model they probably use didn't account for being in a keto state.

Yea, I saw that. But also we don't have ANY gold standard, so who knows if everything doesn't "have issues?"

The DLW guys claim to test ketoers all the time with no issues, but who knows, maybe you can be an outlier.

Might be linked to your hard caseness. Now I wonder what is different in your urine or genetics.
