[QUOTE="LittleGreyCat, post: 2306307, member: 6467"] As far as I know this is perfectly possible. It is also possible to have a high BG and be in ketosis. [This is a potentially dangerous position, especially for T1s.] As I understand it the primary source for BG is dietary carbohydrates. When those run out there are limited glucose stores in the body. When those run out, as the body (mainly parts of the brain) requires glucose to work, the body (liver) produces glucose from mainly fats, although if the going gets tough muscle can also be converted. Minimising your carbohydrate intake can encourage the body to be in more or less permanent ketosis but this isn't directly linked to BG levels because there other factors such as insulin levels and glucagon levels which are used to regulate BG levels. Many people will dip into ketosis overnight when their body runs low on BG. This is perfectly normal. [/QUOTE]
