[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 1201681, member: 196898"] I am on 4x500 mg/day (2 grams) and I was routinely getting readings above 33 mmol/L where my meter lit up like a Chrismas tree and 'shouted KETONES' at me. As a T2 I survived these high levels for some time, but it was a wake up call for me. I have since reduced my bgl down to much the same as you are now, and did this mainly through LCHF diet. I have Ketostix to measure ketones, and the indicator turns a mild purple to show low presence of dietary ketones only. It is not a numeric value, but my meter can take different strips that measure ketones more accurately if I need to. However, I am now sure I am still producing my own insulin as necessary, so I do not fear ketoacidosis. I too am now clear of the danger zone while i munch low carbs. [/QUOTE]
