[QUOTE="polina_london, post: 1514910, member: 422219"] There is plenty of links to researches if you google by "ketonuria in pregnancy" for instance. I cannot post any links yet, since I am a new member (unfortunately, got diagnosed with gestational diabetes just recently, being on 28 weeks) - but I can quote some: "Previous studies have shown that ketones elicit alterations in amniotic fluid volume and composition in sheep6 and also elicit potentially detrimental changes in the neurologic status of human.7 " The part about detrimental neurological changes in fetus is scaring me most. I was on low carb diet for some time now, and just bought ketostix strips, and surprise - I've got ++. Feel awful now. I will still exclude fast carbs from the diet, but I will definitely add more good ones. Especially that my blood sugar is normal now being on a low carb diet, I think I can afford more carbs (carefully obviously) [/QUOTE]
