Studies & References For this Episode


What is the Glucose Ketone Index?

The glucose ketone index (GKI) is a number that helps give a glimpse of the state of our metabolic health.

In his book Cancer as a Metabolic Disease and in this podcast episode, Professor Thomas Seyfried explains how our GKI is ideal when between 2 and 0.7, so aim for 1.

The glucose ketone index can be helpful when looking at ketosis and cancer. Cancer cells thrive on glucose, so to help starve cancer cells its great to have less glucose present and more ketones.

Professor Seyfried’s research shows that reducing our GKI number shrinks tumor weight and energy supply.

If one has a history of metabolic problems, like cancer, obesity or diabetes or wanting to stay at ideal health to avoid getting these in the future, the glucose ketone index is helpful to see how well you’re doing at reducing your chance.


How to Measure Your Glucose Ketone Index

Measuring your GKI is really simple as long as you have a glucose meter and a ketone meter. Those who already measure their ketone levels will just need to take one extra step!

This is the formula for getting your glucose ketone index: (Your Glucose Level / 18) / Your Ketones Level = Your Glucose Ketone Index

This is all you have to do:

  1. Follow the methods for both the glucose meter and ketone meter, pricking your finger and using the strips for each to get your reading. Write each of those numbers down.
  2. Divide the glucose number by 18. (You must do this because glucose readings in the U.S. are measured in mg/dL, and dividing by 18 converts that number to mmol/L to match your ketones reading. If you’re not in the U.S. and your glucose numbers are already measured in mmol/L, skip this step.)
  3. Divide the number you get from #2 by your ketone reading number. This is your glucose ketone index.
  4. Use your GKI to determine where you stand. In general, anything below a 3 is a high level of ketosis (and low level of glucose), 3-6 means moderate ketosis, and 6-9 is a low level of ketosis. Remember, usually the lower the better.
