HI, I constantly have Ketones of .1 or .2 all the time, is this OK. I know if it goes above .6 i have to do stuff, but I am just worried that constantly having these ketones maybe a problem -

that's definitely a normal level of blood ketone level, maybe even for a non diabetic.......

ketones are actually used by the brain amongst other things when we sleep etc...
