I’m on Day 10 of a pure water fast - I’m only consuming pink sea salt, no-salt and distilled water and I was curious to get some insight from this community about appropriate ketone and blood glucose levels. I’m using a urine test to determine my ketone levels and a home blood testing kit to measure my blood glucose. My ketone levels are really high (16+ mmoL/L) but my blood glucose seems fine (71 mg/dL). All the ketone charts online seem to say that my level of ketosis is dangerous and that I may be in a state of ketoacidosis but my relatively low blood sugar readings would seem to contradict that right? I’d appreciate any insight into whether these numbers seem sane or if I should perhaps break my fast and maybe even seek medical attention.
Call a Health Professional if:
Blood glucose levels (sugars) are consistently greater than 14 mmol/L for more than 1 day.
You find blood ketones between 1.5 and 3.0 mmol/L and have high blood glucose levels on one occasion.
You find urine ketones (moderate or large) and have high blood glucose levels on two or more occasions.
