But are you on MDI? The concern for those on a pump is that if they get a blockage they may end up with no IoB at all (not even basal) which could cause problems.Some other threads about ketones:[URL unfurl="true"]https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/ketones-potential-illness-and-low-carb-diet.203026/[/URL][URL unfurl="true"]https://forum.diabetes.org.uk/boards/threads/normal-ketone-values.110801/[/URL][URL unfurl="true"]https://forum.diabetes.org.uk/boards/threads/random-ketones.112260/[/URL][URL unfurl="true"]https://forum.diabetes.org.uk/boards/threads/what-level-of-ketones-is-normal-for-like-a-non-diabetic.111033/[/URL]I would try to reduce BG though, or is that just normal for you during exercise? If you do decide to try to fix BG during exercise be cautious with the amount of bolus you take as it can become very effective (though it depends what you're doing - the liver helps by producing glucose of you're nervous about what you're doing, or if it's "hard" for your body. Both of these effects go away with habituation (across multiple sessions), but also reduce during a given exercise session, at which point muscle insulin sensitivity is also increasing so you get the double whammy of less hepatic glucose and high sensitivity)</blockquote>
