Guest guest Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 Hi! I need some suggestions! My daughter was on a 2.5:1 ratio and her ketones were getting consistently too high and would keep her awake at nights. They would start low in the morning and build all day and she would have too high by nightime. Made her very irritable and uncomfortable. Multistix would turn dark immediately. Just plainly too high. So..... last week I lowered the ratio to 2:1 and we are having the same problems, again! Seemed better for the first few days she was on the lower ratio, but she is back to super high ketones at night and cannot sleep because of them. They are too high. I know from past experience to give her apple juice to get them down temporarily, but this is not a permanent " fix. " Does anyone have any idea what might be going on? Should I stick it out for the two week settling in period before lowering the ratio again? Seizure wise she is doing well. Only one seizure this month; one last month. With almost everyone upping their ratios for better control, it seems odd that I am having to continually be lowering hers. The only other person I have heard of at such low ratios..even lower.. is Rhonda's daughter, Shan. I NEED SOME SUGGESTIONS. Am I missing something???? She goes crazy with these high ketones. They are really miserable when they go too high, and I don't want her seizuring so it is back to the apple juice! Thanks. ...'s mumma (keto kid since May 04... gone down from a 4:1 to 2:1 and still with crazy high ketones!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
