[QUOTE="azure, post: 1516491, member: 39639"] That is [B][U]not[/U][/B] true. Studies have specifically looked at 'normal' ketones (ie not DKA level ones) on the foetus. Research suggests that ketones can cause cognitive delays in childhood, as well as other potential issues. That's the reason ketones are tested for in pregnancy in all women not just those with pre-existing diabetes or GD. I'm at a loss as to why anyone here is implying that ketones are to be ignored when there's a potential effect on the foetus and the pregnancy. Even if that potential risk was low, it's still irresponsible to imply that women could maybe ignore ketones during pregnancy. Any pregnant women here should listen to their doctor. The guidance re ketones is there for a reason and is based on studies looking at the effect of ketones on the foetus as demonstrated by later cognitive deficits in childhood. There have also been suggestiins that ketones can have additional negative effects, for example in early pregnancy... [/QUOTE]
