Exogenous ketones have been said to lower blood glucose levels (perhaps mediated by how much glycogen is being converted by the body to glucose, etc.)

Do you know if a similar relationship exists with blood fructose? I guess so. But I haven’t had a chance to dig into the literature yet.

Probably but you’re better off with the glucose.

Effect is rather small for exogenous ketones.

Exogenous ketosis in patients with type 2 diabetes: Safety, tolerability and effect on glycaemic control - PMC).

Compared to baseline and follow‐up, exogenous ketosis decreased mean blood glucose from 7.8 ± 1.4 mM to 7.4 ± 1.3 mM (140 ± 23 mg/dL to 133 ± 25 mg/dL) (p < .01).

Oyster mushrooms seem to be better.

The fasting glucose level decreased by 1.9 points. The concentration of HbA1c, a marker for exposure to a high glucose level over a longer period, decreased by 1.1 points.

1.9 mmol is about 34 mg/dl

They used dried oyster mushroom powder, capsulized, and the dose was 3 grams of powder per day.
