[QUOTE="BigAlan, post: 2669669, member: 546066"] Good day folks. A quick update and seeker of advice. I APPRECIATE I AM NOT ASKING FOR MEDICAL ADVICE WITH THESE QUESTIONS. As reading this previous posts I went onto a keto diet with 20g carb/ day whilst on Emplafiglozin. Ketones on urine dip sticks were around 4-6. I had what I believe was a hypo on Wednesday but back to normal within an hour BG wise. Yesterday ketones were 4, carb intake 35g. Today on waking ketones are 8 and went there very fast, I.e. within 5 seconds. I can't speak to my diabetic nurse until next Wednesday. I plan to go to 50g carb today, then more tomorrow until it sort of balances out. I can't find any research that lists problems of being with my level of ketones can cause. So if this high ketones continue over weekend should I ring 111 for advice? Also lost 7.2lb in weight, 3% body fat and my BG is much more level at around 6.2 - 6.5 via finger prick since Monday, 1st of Jan before meds or after meals. Any thoughts, pointers ? Do take care. Alan. [/QUOTE]
