Default Blood Glucose levels and Ketosis

Anyone ever monitor their blood glucose levels during the beginnings of the diet (i.e. early in the week) to when you are actually in ketosis.

Oddly enough, my blood sugars, after 3 days of ketogenic eating, were higher then when I ate lots of carbs and took the test (118 vs. 85 after carbing up) Then i checked it once i was in ketosis, and it was 91.

Seems odd to me, but it seems like the initial elevated blood sugar levels were due to my liver releasing its stores of glycogen, with a lack of insulin, and my post carb blood sugar being lower due to the release of insulin by my pancreas.

Your thoughts would be appreciated.
