SiBio KS1 Ketone Sensor

SiBio KS1 - The First Continuous Ketone Monitoring Sensor (CKM)

SiBio KS1 is the first continuous ketone monitoring device (CKM - Continuous Ketone Monitoring) available on the Romanian market. Unlike traditional blood or urine tests that provide only a single value at any given moment, the KS1 sensor measures beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) levels in interstitial fluid continuously, 24 hours a day, for 14 consecutive days. The result: a complete and detailed picture of ketone metabolism, with real-time data directly on your smartphone.

The sensor is simply applied to the back of the arm and automatically transmits ketone values every 5 minutes via Bluetooth connection, without the need for repeated finger pricks or urine tests. This makes it ideal for both people following a ketogenic diet and patients with elevated blood sugar who need to monitor their risk of diabetic ketoacidosis.

Why monitor ketones continuously?

Ketones (especially beta-hydroxybutyrate - BHB) are molecules that your body produces when it burns fat as the primary energy source instead of glucose. This process, called ketosis, occurs naturally when carbohydrate intake is significantly reduced - either through a ketogenic diet or prolonged fasting.

Continuous ketone monitoring offers major advantages over point-in-time testing:

• Confirmation of ketosis state - you know exactly whether you are in nutritional ketosis (0.5-3.0 mmol/L BHB) or not, at any time of day
• Overnight monitoring - ketones fluctuate significantly during sleep, and the KS1 sensor captures these variations that traditional tests cannot detect
• Correlation with diet - you observe exactly how different foods, snacks, or meals affect your ketone levels, allowing you to make precise dietary adjustments
• Optimization of fat burning - maintaining the optimal ketosis range maximizes fat burning rate and improves mental clarity
• Prevention of ketoacidosis - for patients with elevated blood sugar, real-time alerts warn when ketone levels rise dangerously (above 3.0 mmol/L)
• Elimination of invasive tests - no finger pricks, no expensive test strips, no inaccurate urine tests

Ketone values - what each range means

Understanding ketone levels is essential to correctly interpret data from the KS1 sensor:

• Below 0.5 mmol/L - you are not in ketosis; your body is using glucose as the primary energy source
• 0.5 - 1.5 mmol/L - mild ketosis; your body is beginning to burn fat, ideal for gradual weight loss
• 1.5 - 3.0 mmol/L - optimal ketosis; the ideal range for maximum fat burning, mental clarity, and sustained energy
• Above 3.0 mmol/L - advanced ketosis; usually occurs during prolonged fasting or intense exercise; for people with elevated blood sugar, requires increased attention
• Above 5.0 mmol/L - risk of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA); a medical emergency situation, specific to type 1 elevated blood sugar

The KS1 sensor allows you to set personalized alerts for any of these ranges, helping you stay in the optimal zone for your goals.

SiBio CKM Application - Complete control from your smartphone

The SiBio CKM app, available free on iOS and Android, transforms sensor data into clear and actionable information:

• Real-time graphs with ketone levels and visual trends (rising, falling, stable)
• Detailed history of all measurements by hours, days, or weeks
• Time in Range - the percentage of time spent in the optimal ketosis range
• Maximum and minimum values - identifies peak moments and when you exit ketosis
• Correlation with influencing factors - observe how meals, exercise, or sleep affect your ketones
• Smart alerts - customizable notifications for high or low ketone levels
• Data export - export reports for detailed analysis or consultation with your doctor or nutritionist

Overnight ketone monitoring

One of the most valuable features of the KS1 sensor is its ability to monitor ketones during sleep. Ketones are an essential energy source for the brain during the night, especially when following a ketogenic diet. Overnight fluctuations can indicate whether your last meal was appropriate, whether your body is burning fat efficiently, or whether ketone levels are rising dangerously.

With traditional blood tests, this overnight information is impossible to obtain. The KS1 sensor automatically captures values every 5 minutes, including during sleep, providing a complete picture that no other testing method can offer.

Who is SiBio KS1 recommended for?

• Ketogenic diet enthusiasts (keto) - objective confirmation of ketosis state, macronutrient optimization, and maximization of fat burning
• People on low-carb weight loss programs - verification of diet effectiveness and dietary adjustment based on real data, not estimates
• Type 1 users - monitoring the risk of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), with real-time alerts for dangerous values
• Athletes and biohackers - optimization of metabolic performance, monitoring of metabolic flexibility and adaptation to effort
• People practicing intermittent fasting - confirmation of entering ketosis and monitoring the depth of ketosis state during fasting periods
• Nutritionists and doctors - objective data for evaluating and adjusting patients' dietary plans

Why SiBio KS1 vs. traditional ketone tests?

Traditional ketone tests - whether from blood (reactive strips + glucometer) or urine (test strips) - provide only a single value at any given moment. This means you miss all fluctuations between tests, cannot observe trends, and have no overnight data.

SiBio KS1 eliminates these limitations completely: 288 readings per day vs. 2-3 manual tests, zero finger pricks, zero consumable test strips, automatic overnight monitoring, and a complete picture of ketone metabolism over 14 days. The daily cost of the KS1 sensor is comparable to the cost of blood ketone test strips, but with an incomparably larger volume of data and zero discomfort.

The SiBio KS1 sensor does not require a medical prescription and can be purchased directly online. It is a CE-certified medical device designed for home use.

Important note: The KS1 sensor is a monitoring device, not a diagnostic device. For important medical decisions, consult your doctor. People with type 1 elevated blood sugar who suspect diabetic ketoacidosis should contact emergency services immediately.
