Correlation between breath acetone (BrAce) and blood beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) concentrations
Blood BHB and BrAce measurements will be taken simultaneously during at least five (5) measurement sessions each day. After aggregating data from all study participants, the correlation between these two measurements will be determined using regression analysis.
Time frame: 2 weeks
Reliability of the Readout breath acetone device
Multiple BrAce measurements will be taken during each measurement session using the Readout BrAce device and repeatability will be analyzed using alpha reliability coefficients.
Time frame: 2 weeks
