Hi folks,
Don't know if anyone can help, I appreciate this is a technical question!
I am about to embark on LT but am concerned because I have to undergo a medical in 2 weeks time. (I am emmigrating to New Zealand! Yipee!). I could do with losing about a stone before the medical! I have about 3 stone to lose in total.
As part of the medical they test your urine and, specifically the glucose levels.
Does anyone know if the ketones in my urine would show as excessive glucose levels? This might imply that I am diabetic (which i'm not) and cause a problem with passing the medical.
If so, I was wondering if it would be Ok to start LT for a week to get a headstart then maybe refeed to bring my levels back to normal before the medical? Then contine to lose the rest of my weight afterwards?
My pharmacist has explained that i would be producing ketones for other reasons than being diabetic which I understand but surely they would still be in my urine regardless of how they got there!
Help! I am confused!
