Hi! Can someone tell me:
-
How many times per day should I be testing my keytones and glucose? I am only 3 1/2 weeks in.
-
For glucose, what are optimum results?
Thank you for your help!

I don’t test for ketones. If the carbs are kept low, ketosis should be guaranteed.
As a T2 diabetic, I test my blood sugar once per day. Usually at night, at least a few hours after I last ate, because my morning blood sugars are erratic due to “Dawn Phenomenon”.
Before keto, when I used insulin, I used to test blood sugar three to six times per day.

The recommendations in this article, for when to test, are interesting but I i imagine it could get expensive. It seems more catered to testing BG spikes from specific foods rather than an overall plan.
