Keto - Blood Test


(Candace) #1

I’m at 3 1/2 weeks, and my weight fluctuates, as does my blood sugars - my fasting was 114 this morning where it has been under 100, but I am not too worried about it, I think things just take time to adjust. I did get my blood ketone tester and I was at 1.1 this morning - if I read it right, I am definitely in Ketosis - right?

Yes, Drs Phinney and Volek define “nutritional ketosis” (NK) as 0.5 mmol to 3.0 mmol, so you’re doing great!
