49 hours into water fast - for FBS how low is too low

(Valerie Hughes) #1

So I’m 49.5 hours into my water fast - glucose 2.8 and Ketones 6.1. On Therapeutic Keto diet and IF - Have brought glucose down to between 3.4 to 4.5 - my new usual. Ketones between 2- 4. I feel great hand have been drinking water and green tea and salt water - should I be concerned about the 2.8 glucose this evening?

Do you take metformin

No meds - diet is for neurological reasons

The only medicine I had was cambia shortly after 4:20 pm - it’s for migraines. Maybe that had an influence. But still feel great - no shakes or dizziness, nothing negative. Can’t seem to find an answer on google. If anything unusual happens I’ll gently break the fast.

Judge by how you feel. If you feel great, then you’re on track.
Mine goes down to 2.9 sometimes and I feel fine.

Thank you - Still alive :slight_smile: Good night and feel great this morning. Glucose 4.1 and ketones 5.2. In fact, may continue as long as I feel this good - 63 hours now.
