Table 1 Ketonemia and Glycemia values from finger-stick collection. For both ketonemia (β–HB) and blood glucose, the mean values ± SD (n = 6) measured before (PRE) and after (POST) in-ketosis immersion are shown. In particular, ketonemia values at time T3 indicate that all divers achieved a moderate ketosis. Statistics of their differences (ns) is also reported.
