[QUOTE="Robbity, post: 1267732, member: 93179"] I think you have to accept that, like your glucose levels, ketone levels will change as you're using and replenishing them all the time. The first of [USER=48386]@Indy51[/USER]'s example charts shows these variations. Just monitor over time as you do with glucose. [I] [/I] Rather than being "in ketosis", you generally want to aim to be [B]keto [/B]or[B] fat adapted [/B]where you body has made chemical changes so that you can switch as necessary between carbs and fats for fuel - whichever is currently available. I use a Ketonix "breathalyser" and although I don't check on a completely regular basis I definitely see changes all the time, but generally indicating I'm probably in lowish levels of nutritional ketosis. But it depends on what and when I've eaten, and how much and what kind of "fuel" (carbs or fat) is accessible to use. A fatty meal will usually show up later as a higher reading. Robbity [/QUOTE]
