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.

You are right. Have you had any medical advice about what levels are safe? It isn't something that I know much about but the advice on this website is to seek medical advice if above 3.0mmol/L.
https://www.diabetes.co.uk/diabetes_care/testing-for-ketones.html

The video on the link says to contact your doc if you get a reading above 3. It does also stress to disregard any colour changes after 15 seconds, maybe this is why you are getting such a high reading.

Yes it could be more than 15 seconds i tested. I knew 0.5 to 3 is safe ketones.

But for loosing weight and keep my insulin low i need to be always in ketosis low as possible.

So i tested next day it was 1.5 mmol/l, must be wrong reading.

A generous portion of sugar!
When it comes to sweet stuff my weakness is ice cream.

Unfortunately the liqueur chocolates are too readily available at this time of year. I try to leave them on shelf at the other side of living room so that I have to get up to reach them and only take 3 at a time. But Friday night I made the mistake of keeping the whole box next to me. Oh well it is the festive season and I still was within range the next morning.
