[QUOTE="mattrix, post: 2253935, member: 512253"] Seems, it is [B]ME[/B] that is missing the point. It is my experience/assumption that ANY insulin is enough to "suspend" ketosis. However it appears in some people who are taking low enough insulin that ketosis is not interrupted. Or more to the point low enough insulin intake to sustain ketosis and then see if I can match it with CHO. But I fear that won't be enough insulin to cover the dawn effect. Though I have read on here somewhere that in sustained ketosis the liver becomes "glucagon resistant", and fasting PG can drop to around 2mmol/L!!. To be expected, my PG is still elevated and it takes time for insulin to reduce the glucose. Ketones however disappeared quickly. You have to remember that kidneys concentrate glucose ( and, probably ketones) and you don't pass much urine at a time. A quick calculation: your urine is 18mmol/L and you pass 500ml (that is a lot), then if that glucose were put back into your extra-cellular fluid it would increase your PG reading by around 0.5 mmol/L.
