Been a bit poorly last 2 days, sore throat, ear ache, sweating profusely but shivering. Not good but my ketone levels are great! 2.1 this morning! Does illness push levels up at all?
 
Hi @urbanracer thanks for your reply. These results are for people on normal carb diets, as I'm on low carbs I aim for ketone levels of around 2.0 (optimum range as per the graph below) ketoacidos actually occurs with readings over 10 accompanied with high bs readings. I've woke up today feeling much better with all my results pretty much back to normal.
