Yes, you are right there wasn't much beef, but two large dumplings and a lot of root vegetables. It was a processed ready meal. I can't often be bothered to cook from scratch just for myself. I will get the slow cooker out today and start making some batches for freezing.

What units are your ketones expressed in?
Click to expand...
They are in mmol/L.
They are just Urine Ketone test Strips
I when ever i blood sugars are higher than expected and doing exercise and diet correctly, then I check Ketones.
My thinking is when i loose fat or weight blood sugars slightly increases.
Let me know if i am not correct.

Just that under 0.6 mmol/L is a normal reading
Anything above 3 mmol/L you need to be in hospital. Though I may be misunderstanding something here.

I'm guessing that your true value is not 8 mmol/L as I suspect that you would be in no shape to be posting messages.
Maybe 8 umol/L (micromoles rather than millimoles) which is the same as 0.008 mmol/L.
