Hi all yet another question! Having checked my Ketones levels over the last few days I'm only getting readings of 0.1 and 0.2 even though I'm eating no more than 30-40g carbs per day? I'm checking with a Freestyle Optium meter and using Abbot Blood B- Ketone test strips. Going off these results I'm nowhere near being in ketosis or am I?

You are getting normal ketone levels there. You probably need to drop down below thirty for a couple of weeks to kick yourself into ketosis.
 
So if I dropped more carbs for a few weeks and then raised them back to 30 would I end up in the same position that I'm in now? If I'm not in ketosis now what is my body using for fuel? I guess it's not fat!
