[QUOTE="diamondnostril, post: 1698250, member: 63791"] Hi [USER=71299]@jillsymes66[/USER] ... The attached picture is a clipping from "The Ketogenic Diet" by Lyle McDonald. I have used the Keto diet for around 5 years now, and I find this book very useful to refer to. As you can see, you are not close to DKA by any of the markers that you have mentioned. Remember that DKA can [B]only[/B] happen in the [B][I]absence of Insulin[/I][/B]. If you are injecting Insulin to try to keep your blood-sugar under control, then DKA is not possible. Insulin inhibits the creation of Ketones. If you are injecting enough Insulin to keep your blood-sugar anywhere near normal, then Ketones cannot get out of control. Sorry that you are feeling so bad. Of course you are doing the right thing by monitoring your blood-sugar and trying to keep it near to normal. The very act of doing that will prevent DKA. Best Wishes :) Antony [/QUOTE]
