? Ketone blood testing

[Ailish’s Brother]

Hello,
I just got a ketone blood meter. I just used it and got a result of “0.2” for Ailish. What is the range I should accept and what is the range where I should be worried?

@Ailish’s Brother
I did a search on our site and it says
The latest published research/studies in cats indicate ketones will begin to show up at readings of 2.4 and 2.55 on a blood ketone meter:
Also curious on your spreadsheet you have the dates listed as
11/11/2024
11/12/2024
11/16/2024
11/17/2024
11/18/2024. AMPS 340

A reading of ketones 0.3 or 0.5 on the blood ketone meter is not of any concern.

Hi Suzanne , Bron, Wendy, Elise and Sienne. just want to confirm what I told Ailish 's brother about readings on a ketone meter are correct

@Diane Tyler's Mom GA Thanks for catching that, newborn baby brain is doozy so I appreciate the extra eyes!

I heard that “anything under 0.6” is normal, does this line up with what you know?

No problem at all about the dates

0.2 is not something to worry about. Good news.

Glad to hear She’s been sitting at between 0.2 and 0.5 so seems good. Thanks everyone for the support!
