[QUOTE="Antje77, post: 2222314, member: 372207"] Best eat what you feel like eating, the last part of pregnancy is hard enough withouth worrying what is the most healthy choice ;) The baby is already everything a baby should be, those last weeks are to give it some extra strength to take on the world. With both your ogtt's and your bg meter indicating there is nothing to worry about, please feel free to eat! What made you decide to test for ketones? Ketones are usually measured for 2 reasons, neither of which seem to fit your situation. 1: By people with T1 diabetes when they are ill or running very high blood sugars. No need to test them when not running high, it's only in combination with very high levels for a period of time that ketones can be an indication for a dangerous condition called DKA. You don't have high blood glucose and you don't have T1, so this can't be the reason to test for them. 2: By people on a very low carb diet to see if they are in ketosis, as that's what they aim for. For those people ketones are a good thing, and they aren't accompanied by high bg. Those ketones are of the same kind you get when you haven't eaten for a while, like after getting up. [/QUOTE]
