Just got my Urinalysis results and it said under "Ketones" - trace. My Hemoglobin is 5.5 and my blood sugar average is 110. I though Ketones happened after highter blood glucose. Any one know about this>

Avia -
Are you on a high-protein, low carb diet? That would produce some ketones, regardless of blood glucose level.

I had thought the same thing. I was told by my doctor to check for ketones at 230 and of course beyond. Also when I was sick. Thanks again SamQ!! http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/smile.gif I learn something new every day!
