[QUOTE="Robbity, post: 891345, member: 93179"] No, ketosis is quite safe and quite normal.. It's what happens with a very low carbohydrate diet when your body switches from burning carbohydrates for energy to burning fats instead. Our bodies apparently can also switch in and out of ketosis quite naturally, and the ketone levels are very much lower than in [B]ketoacidosis[/B] - which [I]can[/I] be very dangerous and requires medical attention. It' much more likely to be a problem for type 1 diabetics, and this can occur when insufficient insulin combines with very high glucose and ketone levels and causes the pH levels of their blood to become too acidic and out of control. Most type 2s will generally have sufficient insulin to prevent this imbalance from occurring. Robbity [/QUOTE]
