Ketone quick question

(Jill Lothian) #1

Hi so after my little cheat yesterday. I have just tested my ketones and they are 4.1 does this mean I am back in ketosis find it really strange to get this level after a cheat meal.

Thanks

After you are adapted I understand that it might not kick you out. I can’t intentionally cheat, I do struggle afterwards for days.

If your blood sugar was high along with your ketones, it’s a warning sign that you didn’t give yourself enough insulin. However, I have no idea and you can completely ignore me if I’m way off. However, my father is a type 1 diabetic and I’m sure he would be pretty distressed. Maybe cheat-days are not such a good idea. (That’s an understatement – they are always bad; it’s just part of the journey)

4.1 isn’t high. Ketoacidosis is indicated with much higher ketones. She would be feeling really terrible if she were any trouble. I don’t see her doing a 10-mile walk while in distress.

Do you mean your BG was elevated after the cheat meal, and then you did a 10-mile walk? If so, you went straight back into ketosis when the glucose and any glycogen stores were burned off.
