[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2421564, member: 372717"] Logically, if you're eating a keto or very low carb diet, you'll be in permanent nutritional ketosis, irrespective of your blood sugars. The issues come if your bgs go up into the teens or much higher and you then start to wonder whether you're in nutritional ketosis or going into diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). Rare but not totally impossible for T2s, much more likely for insulin deficient T1s. Happy to be corrected if I'm wrong, I've never personally had a DKA though as a T1 I'm aware of it as a potential issue, particularly if I'm ill and my bgs go high. [/QUOTE]
