[QUOTE="992947x, post: 2405796, member: 291252"] Thank you for taking the time to comment. My ketones are between 2 and 4, mostly between 3 and 3.5 - I test once a day at different times. I note that between 3 and 5 is seen as Starvation Ketones, and I am eating enough to be not starving, so maybe this might mean that my insulin isn't allowing glucose to be absorbed (and I have plenty in my blood, even though I am not eating much carbs), so maybe I do need some insulin. I have read that the pancreas can work better if I lose fat around my beta cells, or something to that effect, and I am hoping on that I guess. My docs won't tell me the extent of my reduction in insulin production, just that it is low. I would get a better gauge of where I was with everything if they would explain it more, but they won't even tell me the result (apart from it being low). [/QUOTE]
