Blood ketone test

Hi everyone. I hope you are having a blessed day... I am hoping those with much more experience and research under their belt can share their thoughts or point to relevant reference material... I am currently adhering to 5day/week 18+hour of nightly fast. I eat last meal around 5-6 PM. In the morning

The metabolic dysfunction theory as I understand it, states that the energy production factories inside the cells, i.e. the mitochondria, are for some reason not producing sufficient energy supply for the cells to survive, thus they die off. For instance, the dramatic decrease of dopaminergic neurons

My partner has been in hospital for many weeks now, and discharge has nearly happened twice but each time he has been kept back. He was admitted with high blood sugar, aggressive behaviour and confusion. I would say that for the past ten years, he has not been the charming man I first met back in the

Just came across an article about this study from Duke researchers. Interesting possibility for dietary intervention? Researchers stress that it's not about the diet, but presence of ketones.

hi everyone I was diagnosed with PMR in February this year And despite being a diabetic with high bp was put on Prednisolone and alendronic acid - I was managing my diabetes with food prior to this but have now got out of control readings with ketones present in every reading except my blood fasting

Hi all,I had RT about 2 years ago and have been having 3 monthly Lupron jabs. My PSA has been rising steadily from a low of 0.02 ug/l (May, 2024) to 0.04 ug/l (August, 2024) The result of my blood test today is 0.09 ug/l (Nov, 2024). My PSA seems to be doubling every 3 months. Is this cause

Well, yesterday, I had a full hand x-ray, which I won't get the result for just yet, but my GP also added a urate test to my usual CRP and ESR blood test. ESR is fine at 10, CRP is abnormal at 32, my normal is usually between 12 and 15. Urate is abnormal, and says I have Gout!! That really makes me feel

hi, I wonder if you have any thoughts please, I recently did a private thyroid blood test as was feeling quite rubbish with a long list of issues, ( have previously had parathyroid issue with high PTH and calcium leading to parathyroidectomy over 2 years ago) my thyroid results were normal except for

So yesterday got home to a letter from Neurovascular who had seen my scans for GCA and apparently now I have a small aneurysm in one of the arteries in my head but they are leaving it alone since the risk of intervention is higher than the risk of a bleed - anyone else have one ? I have a chest X-ray

When my daughter was first ill (6 months ago), she had an MRI head scan. They found that she had a 3.5 x 2.5 cm temporal arachnoid cyst in the right cranial fossa. It would probably have been there from birth. We were assured that it wasn’t affecting her brain at all, and wouldn’t cause her FND symptoms

I got numerous painful areas (like burning pain) on my scalp and neck 4 months ago. Also developed migraine headache and pretty well a constant headache every day since. Ended up almost bed ridden for 6 weeks with fatigue, extreme tiredness and arthralgias in most joints. Biopsy of scalp area showed

Hello, I’m not really sure why I’m writing this…maybe to feel less alone with it all. Apologies in advance, this is long. If you continue to read, I’m so grateful. I’m a 47 y/o woman and I have had varying symptoms for what might possibly have been quite a long time. I started with ectopic beats

First time poster looking for some advice. I am not sure if I have RLS or peripheral neuropathy. I am not sure how long I have had this but definitely over a year but much more noticeable in last few weeks. My symptoms are a “buzzing/fizzing/vibrating feeling in my legs and feet. Initially when

Hello ladies! We are doing our IVF treatment abroad and I wanted to ask if any of you know a place in the UK (London/ Reading/ Oxford) that can do a private progesterone blood test with a 24h turnaround? If If I can get that done in the UK it would save me flying back and forth for my next transfer.

Three weeks ago I contacted a private hospital about an appointment with any of the three haematologists on its website. One was allocated to me, I went to a little trouble to email through a summary of my medical history and my own spreadsheet of blood-test results, and my GP went to more trouble to

As I mentioned in my post yesterday about my ongoing stomach pain, I got a surprise appt with an NHS rheumy, a consequence of the GP referral in Aug 23. Had to go through my symptoms from the beginning and answer questions. Had examination. I took a copy of the report I had from private consultation
