[QUOTE="busydiabeticmum, post: 1520503, member: 160151"] But we need to ask which returns us to the op question... what is a safe amount of Ketones? We know that there will always be Ketones in the urine especially in the morning, but this may not be in the blood! Yes taking meds is not your fault with gd, and if you find you need it you should take it, I would always tell a mum to follow their body and what the body is telling them... the low carb diet I follow is extremely healthy and means I am getting more nutrients than I would have, my dietitian agrees which is lovely. It is lovely to see controlled Bgl without being hungry... though I do see them creeping up, they are still within range. I know rds doesn't happen all the time with high uncontrolled Bgl. It may be I was lucky with Ketones not harming any of my babies, I certainly wouldn't want to go through it... Just a note of interest I was researching about the drugs that have been discovered to be harmful (such as the anti depressants and thalidomide) they have started tests and are now discovering that paracetamol has an adverse affect on male fetus when taken for a week! This test also done on mice but has been rejected by most medical professionals because the effect on mice doesn't always convert to humans! I do believe that more testing needs to be done, maybe taking a case study of woman on here who are low carbing voluntarily and the effect on the baby... This is always the problem when companies pick and choose which tests results to accept even when taken under the same condition (in this case one accept using mice the other rejected because they used mice!). Also the link you shared with the kitchen analogy is flawed because it doesn't take diabetes into account! This turning up the heating would cause a huge gas/electric bill which may have repercussions later on... also I don't think trying to get a higher amount of Ketones with the theory of a more intelligent baby is a good idea at all as that could put you into ketoacidosis... they didn't really share any scientific evidence just argued the point, yet again though the point was lost due to not taking into account that (using their kitchen analogy) not everyone has enough money (insulin) to pay the bill... A balance needs to be found and more research needs to be done... however due to the fact that we are all unique means that there is just no 1 size fits all. [/QUOTE]
