[QUOTE="jpscloud, post: 1987474, member: 232698"] Thanks @ArabHorse, I am on three meds for blood sugar, but they are not known to cause hypos. I stopped metformin for a week but restarted as I thought my readings were going up a bit. I also lapsed so I thought I'd better stay with the meds until I'm a bit more secure in the new way of eating. I'm also on several other meds, including ones for blood pressure, which I also monitor. I spoke with my Dr last Friday to ask about extending fasting over more than 24 hours so am following his advice. It certainly looks like I won't go too low, today's readings range from 5.0 to 4.6 and ketones from 0.6 to 1.2 - they seem to vary quite a lot, and not necessarily in line with bg. I did expect to see higher ketone readings today but there we are! I'm going for three days now, so will have "breakfast" tomorrow evening. Very best of luck for your op, will be thinking of you.
