[QUOTE="rach, post: 63978, member: 13157"] Just a thought but how many carbs a day are you eating now? Because ketones are not always bad: non diabetics can have "fasting ketones" when waking especially after not many carbs the evening before (up to + or even ++ on the ketostix). Also people on the "ketogenic" diet, generally thought of as <50g a day I think, will produce ketones and still be healthy. If you are eating lower carb it could be making your blood sugars fall, but also the ketones apparently increase? However be on the look out for signs of dangerous high sugars/DKA (extreme thirst, blurred vision, abdo pain, vomiting) as I know for my blood sugars, and the fact I do not eat low carb enough to be producing significant ketones, I would be worried above about 14mmol/L.
