This test was a slice of cake, after the Salad and Ground Beef test. I was curious to see what effect this would have as a snack between lunch and dinner.
Test Results
| Date | Time | Glucose (mg/dl) | HCT % | Hb g/dl | Keytone | Dr Boz Ratio | GKI | Comments |
| 8/20/2019 | 3:30pm | 94 | 41 | 13.9 | 1.2 | 78.3 | 4.4 | pre cake test |
| 4:15pm | 170 | 37 | 12.5 | 0.8 | 212.5 | 11.8 | about 1 hours after cake | |
| 6:15pm | 78 | 34 | 11.5 | 0.6 | 130.0 | 7.2 | 3 hrs after cake |
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 snack, we can see that the Dr Boz ratio started high after the previous meal. After the cake, the glucose level almost doubled, which I did not expect it to go that high, and clearly the Dr Boz ratio went through the roof. Even 3 hours later when the glucose level dropped below the pre-test levels, the keytones still had not recovered and I had zero benefits of autophagy from this snack.
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, we can see before the test, I was in moderate ketosis. But the levels went well out of the ketosis range after eating the cake. After 3 hours, the keytone levels still had not recovered, but since the gluclose levels had dropped to below pre-test levels, the GKI ratio indicated that I was in a very low level of ketosis.
Conclusion
Having this cake was a disaster as far as glucose levels and autophagy and ketosis are concerned.
