There is another more worrying condition called ketoacidosis. I'm not sure what leads to that..I think it may apply more to type 1's?I am only familar with blood ketones (have never used the pee sticks) and one of the fasting gurus says up to 7.2 is fine but anything over that should be supervised by a doctor. I've never measured higher than a 6.0 personally.4.2 is absolutely fine for glucose if you are in some level of ketosis. I have been as low as 2.6 and I felt just fine because my ketones were up at 5 at that point.Your Libre3 will not take any state of ketosis into account when it sounds an alarm. Hopefully future monitors will be able to measure both, and and only alarm you if there is true cause for alarm! You need to worry if you feel dizzy or shaky of course and you might need to apply caution if you're on blood sugar lowering meds.</blockquote>
