I pre-bolus by 20 minutes and when it’s working nicely I rise to about 11.7 and then come back into range throughout the life cycle of the bolus. It’s the best I can manage, for me - and 100% better than the previous spikes and devastatingly scary crashes I was having. Agree that the ketones need checking, preferably with a blood testing strip. I’ve read up on this a lot. As the starvation ketones develop, they cease being picked up on urine strips because the chemical make up changes. There’s only a small window where starvation ketones will be picked up on a urine strip.</blockquote>
