I was not sure what effect a single slice of bread would have much effect on my glucose level. So why not test it!
| Date | Time | Glucose (mg/dl) | HCT % | Hb g/dl | Keytone | Dr Boz | GKI | Comments |
| 7/28/2019 | 2:00pm | 69 | 40 | 13.6 | Didn’t do Keytone check | |||

Ratios
Reviewing the Ratios from this test:
Dr Boz Ratio:
The Dr Boz Ratio is a value taken from Dr Boz. Details of how the ratio is calculated can be found here. It is calculated using the formula Glucose / Keytone = Dr Boz Ratio.
| Dr Boz Ratio | Effect | Autophagy Indicator |
| Less than 80 | Weight Loss | Might Get Autophagy |
| Less than 40 | Immune System | Solid chance of Autophagy |
| Less than 20 | Cancer Fighting | Best chances for Autophagy |
For this meal, we can see that the Dr Boz ratio after eating the slice of bread was still within the autophagy mode.
GKI Ratio:
The GKI Ratio is calculated using the formula here: (Glucose / 18) Keytone = GKI
| GKI | What is means | Application |
| <= 1 | Your’re in the highest therapeutic level of ketosis | Very difficult to acheive without doctor’s supervision. |
| 1-3 | You’re in a high therapeutic level of ketosis | For those using keto therapeutically for the treatment of diseases, such as cancer, epilepsy, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, traumatic brain injury, and chronic inflammatory disease. |
| 3-6 | You’re in moderate level ketosis. | For those with Type 2 diabetes and obesity, insulin resistance, metabolic or endocrine disorders. |
| 6-9 | You’re in a low level of ketosis | Ideal for weight loss and health maintenance |
| >= 9 | You’re not in ketosis. | N/A |
From the GKI ratio, I can see after eating 1 slice of break I was still within the high therapeutic level.
Conclusions
I should have checked my keytone level before and after.
From this simple test, I can see
- My glucose level did rise a little, by 10 points, but I was still in Keytosis (fat burning mode, instead of fat storage mode).
- 1 slice of bread does not have a large effect on my ketosis level, but if i had several slices, I probably would have been kicked out of ketosis for a while.
