The only time this has caused an issue is having higher ketones and glucose makes me feel ill (I suspect these were due to body running low on insulin but nowhere near DKA levels). I'm usually on one meal a day (sometimes 2 meals a day) but sometimes do fasts for a couple of days which also works provided the basal is right or slightly low.YMMV some people feel ill with lower ketone levels.</blockquote>
