Glucose levels in ketosis

[elijah]

Hey guys, I'm wondering what my gluclose levels should be at while I'm in ketosis. I'm sure I am ketotonic *maybe the term * the ketostix show low levels, but thats probably because of all the diet coke I drink, going to cut that out next week and see how it goes. Also going to use slin to get into ketosis for sure as per the article. When I measure my glucose levels it reports about 80 or so, that seems high but I'm not sure. Any advice from the experts would be much appreciated.

I would continue taking 3ius of slin every 2 hours or so until your glucose is under 60. The general rule is under 50 is when you you'll begin to use ketones for energy, but this number is not set in stone. You never want to take insulin after your glucose gets under 60 in my opinion. From there just let your body take you the rest of the way home. Mr. X, please correct me if you disagree.
