Thanks. My blood ketone when I wake up is at least 0.5. usually between 0.5 and 1.
It used to be higher the first few months. According to what I have researched, after being fat adapted, body learns not to waste ketones so 0.5 to 1 is the norm and indicates fat adaptation.
Regarding I don’t have enough ketones so liver puts out sugar via GNG, I would not argue with that because I know that my BG is high because my liver is dumping out sugar. I cannot control ketone amounts, I can only cut out all carbs. I am not interested in taking exogenous ketone supplements. The fact that my liver is dumping glucose via GNG but my muscles are not using it coz of physiological IR, my fasting BG, average BG and A1C are all going up. My only question is why this high BG ok when it is driving up my average BG and A1C. High BG is toxic to organs regardless of the reason why BG is high. I have probably repeated this question a dozen times and no body is able to directly answer my specific question. Perhaps it because we have all been repeatedly brain washed to believe high BG is OK in keto. There never say how higher A1C as a result will not cause glycation and associated damages
