It’s not an issue unless you’re diabetic and have high blood sugar at the same time. Some people pay silly money for exogenous ketones to try and get those kind of numbers, be happy.

It’s ok, the additional stress will raise your Cortisol levels, induce insulin production which may lower your Ketones :wink: (I’M JUST KIDDING!!)

Alternatively eat a Snickers bar and instantly get a Ketone reading of 0.0 :wink: (again… JUST KIDDING!)

BUT SERIOUSLY…

I had the same reading a few days ago, I didn’t really think anything of it. I know ketone levels fluctuate.
