[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1235445, member: 41816"] Hi and welcome (again) It sounds as if you are doing really well! :D I can't answer your ketosis question, except to show you this graph, and make a suggestion (although really it is just speculation!) [URL='http://d30b2uadky41tr.cloudfront.net/Blog/image.axd?picture=%2F2014%2F03%2Fketosistix_graph.jpg']h[IMG]http://d30b2uadky41tr.cloudfront.net/Blog/image.axd?picture=%2F2014%2F03%2Fketosistix_graph.jpg[/IMG] [/URL] As you can see on the graph, 'ketosis' covers a really big range. From just into it, through 'starvation' and right up to where ketoacidosis starts. Ketoacidosis is a nasty business that [B]normally[/B] only happens to Type 1 diabetics, and can make them very ill. Maybe you strayed into that zone? I would imagine that ketosis feels different at different points, and I know that ketoacidosis feels horrible. But it is worth remembering that [B]if[/B] you are eating low carb, and you [B]aren't[/B] having glucose spikes, [B]and[/B] your body is producing enough insulin (which it must be, or you would have dangerously high blood glucose) then your ketosis isn't harming you. There are urine testing strips you can buy in pharmacies, if you want to check your ketone levels. There are also blood ketone tests too, which are more accurate but also cost more. I know that [USER=220230]@Kaz261[/USER] didn't like being in ketosis, whereas I love it and feel really well. So we must have very personal reactions to it. In answer to your other question, whether fever affect blood glucose? The answer is a resounding YES! Fever, viruses, tiredness, pain... They all impact. Glad to have you posting again :) [/QUOTE]
