glucometer and ketostrips?

[Noomrise33]

Hey guys I have been using a glucometer and I read in Duchaines book that you have to be below 50 to be in ketosis. Well today it said 70 but I did three keto stick dips throughout the day and every one of them came up a medium purple. I am in ketosis or not? What do you guys think?

It depends on a person. I can be above 70 and still be in ketosis.
Plus glucometers are not that accurate. They measure capillary blood while in a lab you test your vein blood.Capillary levels can be much higher (up to 70 mg/dl higher) if one consumed food recently.

Concentrate more on how you feel and less on the sticks and glucometer.
