    Congrats on reducing your diabetes meds. Nice work!

    Moderate ketone readings using ketostix (urine test) means that you have definitely kept your carbs low, probably well below 50g, and you are excreting some of the extra ketones. It does not mean much in terms of weight loss, just that your body is making ketones to help fuel the brain and body because you aren't eating many carbs - often helpful when trying to reverse diabetes. :)

    I suggest joining the keto and Low Carber Daily MFP groups. Many others in there are using low carb to treat their insulin resistance too.

    Best wishes. :)
