Okay, so this is what we found, with blood sugars, 63% of the participants had an increase

of blood sugar by three points, however, it was still within the normal range, okay,

it was below 100, and so this is insignificant, even though it was a slight spike, okay?

And the rest of the participants had a lowering of blood sugars by eight points, interesting,

so it was kind of a cancel itself out, and then when we checked ketones, 63% of the participants

had a decrease in ketones by 0.1, so they went from, let's say, 0.5 to a 0.4, someone
