I need some help. I'm diabetic and on insulin. I've been in the introduction phase of the Atkins diet for the past 18 days and have been able to eliminate the before meal insulin injections. My blood glucose has been stable at around 110. However, ketostick tests indicate only trace amounts of ketones in my urine (morning and evening). My question: Is the amount of ketone present proportional to the amount of fat being burned? My carbohydrate intake is as close to zero as possible. Any help or commets will be appreciated. Thanks
