https://mysugarwatch.je/package/# This seems very new? Can't seem to find any reviews online of any shared experiences but it seems like a non invasive form of blood glucose monitoring. Not sure how safe it is or if its even legitimate- has anyone else come across it? I came across this as...

I know it was silly of me, as I had a weak moment. How do you suggest I move forward as I do want to incorporate a little more carbs?

Yeah it did work but I had a moment today. Unfortunately I didn't test it before my hba1c test early this month so I have no idea what kind of numbers I got. Not sure if maybe the sudden hit and increase in carbs today is what also lead to a big spike

My prediabetes hba1c is 42 Also I was on a keto diet, very low carbs for the 3-4 weeks so the highest figure I had was about 5.2mmol

So I've been on a keto diet for the past month or so. Unfortunately I slipped up today and had a sandwich + 2 x crisps... checked my BG 2 hrs later and it was at 8.6, checked again to be sure and it was 8.1. Surely this is extremely high for someone with prediabetes?

I think I'm just concerned I may have inadvertently got DKA. Yeah I have been drinking a lot of water. I guess I am just worried due to my dry mouth and increased thirst/urination. I am clearly not familiar with the keto diet as I keep panicking with high readings.

Were you feeling quite thirsty? Dry mouth? Or increased urination

My blood ketones have risen to 4mmol/l after eating so I will call as I am very concerned

Yeah this was my post yesterday which I couldn't edit, but it was before my blood ketone result which has worried me even more today.

Sorry I was unable to provide an update on my previous post - unsure how to navigate But I posted a concern regarding DKA My blood sugars are 4.7mmol upon waking My main concern is I have now tested my blood ketone levels too and they show up as 2.9mmol upon waking. I have tested them again...

Update: i tested my blood ketone levels upon waking and my figure was 2.9

Ohhh right! Thank you! That makes a lot more sense. I think I got more confused as I am prediabetic so didn't want to cause any harm to myself. I am very thirsty but I'm sure that's pretty standard with dietary ketosis anyway. Thanks so much for explaining, I was worried by ketosis would...

If the blood ketone number was over 5? Would that be an emergency? I am confused as to the optimal range for a prediabetic doing a keto diet

Thank you! It's after 2 months so still a while! I just got concerned looking at the high ketone reading on my urine dipstick test.

Thank you I don't have anything to check my blood ketones but just checking my urine for now
