Actually, I'm kind of running out of steam. I have a couple of ideas left, and I need to get back to the series I was doing on cancer, but other than that, I dunno... Anyone have anything specific they're curious about or would want to see me write about?

I got one for you. Ratio of blood ketones, blood glucose, insulin. In the fasted state, not post-prandial bolus. Here's my idea. As insulin goes up, blood ketones go down, but BG goes up. BG and insulin track each other in this relationship, while blood ketones do the opposite. Maybe that's how it goes, maybe not, but it's a topic of interest to me. There's already some data to support the idea, for example diabetes type 2 where there's concurrent hyperglycemia and hyperinsulinemia, but near-zero blood ketones, all in the fasted state of course. On the opposite end, we can get relatively high blood ketones, relatively low BG and relatively low insulin, in the fasted state again. In both of these instances, these relationships track with dietary carb intake. An extension of the idea is that any one of these values can't be used to determine metabolic status, we must use all three to get a clear picture.
