I recently did a 8.75 day water fast with herbal tea also. I did fine ad blood sugar didnt dip below 50. Blood ketones got up to 5.7. I tried another fast this week and by the third day I felt a little jittery at work. I checked my blood glucose and it was 29. I had some bone broth I keep at work so I drank a cup and a spoon of coconut oil. and it went up to 85 2 hrs later. Im trying to figure out why it dipped so low. All I can think is because of a very stressful workday yesterday my insulin just got too high. Blood sugar was 50 when this am which is lower than any of my previous fasting one. Any ideas.

Wow. 29 is really low. The 50 is low too but if its at that range and you still feel fine, then I don’t see the issue. The 29 though. Always a good reason to have something with you at all times when doing an extended fast should your glucose dip that low and your forced to eat something non keto in an attempt to raise that glucose level. I always carry around some macadamia nuts or olives. Something portable, keto, and I can eat right away should it be necessary. Glad the bone broth helped you
