Hi. Does anyone ever get high ketones 1.3 and 1.7 whilst their bgl is ok and not at all high...between 5-6?
Feel terrible when this high.
LADA honeymooning still and only on 4units Levemir in evening.
I eat low carb diet . Could be nutritional?
A very low carb diet is called a keto diet. Because you're supposed to produce ketones, hence the name.
There are many articles about the difference between ketosis (the food related thing) and ketoacidosis (the scary thing). You may like to do a google search, or just ask here and someone will post a useful link for you
If you feel bad with those ketones, would it help you to slightly up your carb intake?
@Antje77 is spot-on. If you are eating a diet low enough in carbohydrate then your liver will begin releasing ketones in lieu of glucose (proportionally increasing). This is entirely expected. I often roll at ~4 with a 1:1 glucose/ketone ratio. Whether or not the diet suits you personally or medically is another matter.
