I also have been on keto for past 1.5 years.
For last 6 months I have been measuring ketone and glucose levels with blood meter every evening (whenever possible). I have a journal of my diet, exercise and other health-related activities. Still have to analyse/normalize my data, didn't find time yet to build tools for it. Here is just a quick graph where I dumped the numbers into a google spreadsheet: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/559047/keto-readings-01.... High glucose implies lower ketones in my case (the correlation is pretty obvious from the plot above). My explanation is that when I get higher glucose in blood, my pancreas increases insulin level and that in turn not only drives glucose down, but also ketones (somehow). I could be considered a healthy, relative active individual 37yrs, 182cm, 78kg, ~15% BF. Why I'm posting this here?
Eventually I would like to build a tool with a protocol to follow for people who want to follow similar diet and compare their results. I believe this crowd-sourced data could potentially be also an interesting data-set for researchers. Any hackers interested in building something similar? |
