Read this thread, it will answer your question.

Ketone levels too high?

Hello to all. I will be on my 3rd week of this diet tomorrow. I am a 44 year old male and started at 166 and now I am down to 158. I been keeping track of my Ketone levels and they fluctuate between 2.5 up to 5.5. Using the precision Neo for testing. Trying to figure out if I am being too strict and maybe I should introduce some fruits to my diet to lower these levels.

1.5mmol - 3mmol is considered optimal nutritional ketosis for maximum weight loss.

I have been as high as 6.1 when fasting and another guy I know on day 3 of a fast reported 7.4 yesterday…
Why are you worried with a blood glucose of 86 you have nothing to worry about.

Take a look at this image from Dr. Phinney–3.9 is not bad, it is when you get over 10 that you should worry. https://discourse-cdn-sjc1.com/ketogenicforums/uploads/default/original/2X/4/4fdf3988ef41c75855851b089b245d92ec1d16d1.jpg
