What is a Glucose Ketone Ratio?

The glucose ketone ratio (GKR) is a metric used to assess the balance between blood glucose and ketone levels. It is particularly useful for individuals following a ketogenic diet or managing diabetes. A lower GKR indicates a higher level of ketosis, which is often the goal in ketogenic diets for weight loss or therapeutic purposes. Conversely, a higher GKR may indicate higher blood glucose levels, which could be a concern for individuals with diabetes.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ \text{GKR} = \frac{90}{1.5} = 60 \]

The Glucose Ketone Ratio (GKR) is 60.
