Ok guys, I’m hoping someone can shed some light on this for me. I have been consistently in ketosis for the last 4 months and mostly in ketosis for the 9 months prior to that. I check my ketones around 3 times a day with a blood monitor and I’m always somewhere between 1-3.
This week I decided to start checking my bsl as well and purchased the glucos strips and have been testing my glucose response before and after a meal. I was shocked to find my bsl going up to 6 and sometimes 7 mMol post keto meals despite my ketones atying within the 1-3 mMol range.
I don’t have a history of diabetes and I’ve been really struggling to lose weight in the last 4 months since tightening up my diet.
Can anyone help me understand the high blood glucose readings. is this causing an insulin spike and hence my lack of weight loss/ slight weight gain?
Thanks in advance
