Just curious does anyone feel kinda jittery inside when their blood ketones are elevated?

Last week I was feeling jittery on the inside “shaky” had a fairly carb stringent week. So went home from work and used my Mojo Blood Ketones tester. Results were as suspected. 2.5 So the next day started feeling the same. So Ii bumped up my carbs. Feeling wasn’t there. The next day started feeling the same and results were 2.7. So guess I have a good idea by the way I’m feeling inside when I’m in Ketosis. By the way my glucose was 93. So no problem there! Just was wondering if anyone else has any symptoms of Ketosis?

Thanks for the reply. Sometimes I worry. Glad to hear I’m not alone😀

I get jittery with coffee more easily when there are abundant ketones. I have to remind myself to cut back or sometimes or just go without, which is amazing for me because I used to be near comatose in the morning without coffee or an energy drink.

Me too. High ketones just make me feel happy but when I add too much coffee it starts to feel a bit too “high”.

I have also cut my coffee consumption! Realized what I was enjoying was what I was putting in my coffee. And I have also started drinking Juan Valdez’s instant coffee. After trying alot of different brands. It’s the best. Least bitter. My husband likes Tasters Choice. We have cut out HWC.

No, not here. My ketones have been way higher than the numbers you mention and I don’t feel jittery at all.

I only feel jittery when my glucose is high.

My husband has No symptoms either. Although he doesn’t have any blood sugar issues. Before Keto I had Low Blood sugar.

I generally get the giddiness above 4. Above 5, and I can kind of be too talkative or even start to feel a bit off in the evening—but it morning.

I got jittery when I took exogenous ketones, so I quit taking them. My ketones are generally very low, though.

Last 2 days I’d run out of cream so made some bullet proof coffee.
Holy cow I started sweating like crazy and got the runs. Massive jitters like I drank a whole pot. Never had that issue in the past when consuming bpc.

Anyway, back to creamer today and coffee time is back to normal.

Strange how things change. I haven’t had any sugar since March. And the thought of eating any scares the heck out of me. You definitely become more sensitive.

Yes, felt this way every time I had MCT oil.
