    Ketosis is good for you!

    A newly diagnosed diabetic may get high readings then test for ketones, do a search on this site and see this. Very misleading thread title fir a newly diagnosed diabetic in my eyes. Admin, you need to take a look at this from a newly diagnosed diabetic perspective!!! Helpful it is not!!!!
