When I've personally experimented
with ketosis, I used various methods of
testing to make sure my ketone levels and
blood glucose levels were within healthy ranges:
The only way to be sure is by
testing your
blood glucose and ketone levels
with a monitor (we like the Precision Xtra, available on amazon.com for $ 40).
We may even want to just do some functional
glucose tolerance
testing, i.e. just
testing your
blood sugar
with a

HI Gm, I am doing the
blood glucose / ketone
testing with strips like you (but once / day every 2 days) and have been living
with the ketogenic diet full on since Feb14, I found I couldn't get my
blood sugars to go lower than around 4.5 mmol (was trying to get down to Dr Seifreid's recommended 3.6, or at least under 4) after starting the intermittent fasting they really stabilised.
Since this diet has improved my gut issues, bodyfat,
blood pressure, insulin,
blood glucose, mood, energy, A1C, CRP, etc., - basically every single health parameter I have

blood glucose spikes after meals which means that they can get by
with smaller doses of insulin.
The best way to know whether or not what you're drinking or eating is throwing you out of ketosis is to
test yourself
with a
blood ketone
glucose meter like this one here about 45 minutes after consumption.

blood glucose levels in humans (human study — abstract) «We examined the inhibitory effect of a single ingestion of bread containing resistant starch (bread containing about 6 g of resistant starch derived from tapioca per 2 slices)(

blood glucose in male and female adults
with a fasting
blood glucose level between 100 and 140 mg / dl.

blood glucose and
blood insulin were significantly inhibited in subjects in the borderline group who took the
test food in comparison
with the placebo group (
blood glucose: p < 0.05 and p < 0.01 at 1 and 1.5 h after ingestion respectively; insulin: p < 0.05, p < 0.01 and p < 0.05 at 1, 1.5, and 2 h after ingestion respectively).

Blood tests revealed issues
with kidneys and urine sample showed
glucose in the urine.
The cause needs to be investigated starting
with confirming the presence of
glucose in the urine, after
blood tests for
blood counts (kidneys secrete erythropoietin which stimulates the production of red
blood cells) and biochemistry (which would indicate general kidney and liver function), there will be a clearer picture of Chinu's condition.
These obese cats need to be closely monitored for DM
with fasting
blood glucose tests, urinalysis, and fructosamine

Since diabetic pets should be monitored
with a

test.
