[QUOTE="JohnH2019, post: 2045923, member: 503734"] What I am reading is that the body will lower or stop producing ketones when insulin is in the blood stream. This seems logical since insulin is an important tool in the body to store excess energy. So if there is plenty of glucose in the blood, there is no need to use our adipose fat for fuel/ketones. With that in mind, and the goal of keeping insulin as low as possible, is anyone using a ketone blood meter as an indicator of insulin in the blood? Are there charts that show specific correlation between levels of ketones and levels of insulin? Or is it as simple as if the ketone meter shows ketones at any level, even at 0.1 mmol/L, it would mean that insulin level is healthily low? Just trying to avoid another doctor's visit for another insulin test.:doctor: Thank you. [/QUOTE]
