[QUOTE="Randburg, post: 562901, member: 73375"] Hi Spiker and mrburden. I'm interested in this subject and did open a tread, but really did not get an answer. If I am a type 2 and if I go very low carb ie as close as I can to zero, and keep this up for a week, will I pass ketones ? I have purchased some urine strips that test a lot of things including Ketones and I have been a week on Zero ( a dash of cream in my coffee is probably my only carbs) Only a faint trace of Ketones, but nothing exciting after 6 days I think by this time I must be burning Fat as my weight is dropping a little each day. My Blood Glucose is remaining in the 5 to 6 mark most of the day, the lowest was 3.9 before lunch on 1 day Very interested to hear your comments as my knowledge on Ketones is limited. Will I ever show Ketones as I still produce natural insulin as a type 2 or am I wasting my time looking for them ?:confused: [/QUOTE]
