Started LCHF after diagnosed type 2 approx. 5 weeks ago
Most mornings fbg between 4.6 and 5
Bought some urine testing strips to check for glucose and ketones and I'm now getting myself confused again,
Over the last week the ketone reading has risen from 1,5 mmol/l to 4 mmol/l
Am I overdoing the protein and need to reduce slightly or is it a case of results + uneducated = confusion
Example of food intake yesterday
B. Omelette with red pepper mushrooms tomato and cheese
Late lunch (not hungry) Chicken thigh mixed leaf salad German salami and walnut oil red wine vinegar dressing
S handful of walnuts and brazil nuts
Have lost 1st 4 lb in the last 4-5 weeks and don't feel unwell, in fact better than I have for a long time but don't want to start causing one problem by try to sort out another by raising ketone levels
Any help/advise appreciated as usual from the members
