Question about KETONES

I have just checked my BGLs 4.8mmol/l and then my ketone status, which is 1.5. I am on day 43 ND. Would someone knowledgeable please tell me if this is O.K? I would like to know what the safe range is.

Your levels are fine and the ND is meant to produce ketosis.

If you see this thread, there is a post by @jack412 that includes the safe ranges for nutritional ketosis:

Thanks for that, Indy51, I can see that I am perfectly safe with these ketosis levels. My GP was horrified when I mentioned ketosis, I think now, that he was thinking about ketoacidosis, which is not what I am about at all.

Haven't seen the ads - or not yet, perhaps. And my doc is generally encouraging, but I believe there are many T1s to be cared for, and possibly anything that sounds like ketoacidosis would resonate strongly with him. I know he was interested in Prof Taylor's paper when I gave him a copy
, last year.I am sorry if I made him sound like a dinosaur, as he is very competent, and always interested in any activity I undertake to improve my health. I do not mean to make this sound like a reference for my GP, my last one died, and this one was such a " find " for me, 5 years ago. It is bliss to have a GP who is a human being, and who doesn't treat people like statistics.
Thank you again for the prompt response and the excellent link. I fear I may have inadvertently ranted. Please forgive.️
