I've found that three almonds will reassure it that I have some food and it will stop topping me up in the morning. Otherwise it will go on increasing until at least 3pm (which is where I got bored and stopped testing).My fasting morning level is still the highest I'll usually see all day - mid to top end 5s. This is after nearly five years on 20g/day. It drops steadily through the day into the evening depending on what I do, and what's going on.  It's usually 4 something before the evening meal, and will go up a bit after eating maybe to mid 5s, depending on what I've eaten. You hold round about an estimated days' worth of energy in muscle and liver stores. These obviously can get run down, and will be topped up when spare glucose is available. Those of us who aim to be in ketosis most of the time are using mainly ketones from metabolised bodyfat for energy.</blockquote>
