[QUOTE="Pipp, post: 1793247, member: 100904"] Thank you @shelly262 and [USER=71953]@bluetit[/USER]. Really useful info, much appreciated. Having only had ketones tested before during my monitored Newcastle diet phase, (seven years ago), I don't feel a great need for regular accurate measurement. This recent short fast made me realise I recognise the feeling of ketosis. Although this time, the ketostix only just turned colour, indicating mild ketosis, the feeling of wellbeing, lots of energy, and no hunger felt the same as I remember from that ND time. Although I am inquisitive about how things work, I am wary of becoming obsessive. Not that I am suggesting that would be the case for everyone. I just know and understand myself. Not saying never, but not for now. As for the Libre, I would really like to have constant monitoring of BG levels, but have been advised by immunology consultant that it is not suitable for me as due to my rare immune condition it could cause a severe reaction to have the 'foreign body' of that mini probe in place, and adhesive as well as being an allergen for me, would probably not hold, as I spend many hours a week in deep water. (Swimming pool, but also metaphorically). [/QUOTE]
