[QUOTE="Defren, post: 323973, member: 41817"] I eat a very, very low carb diet, so my body has almost no carbs to use as energy. The body then changes from a carb burning machine to a fat burning machine. This is called being in ketosis, and it's dietary and perfectly safe. When you have high BG levels, and ketones, that is a different matter, it's not safe at all. If your mom has high BG and ketones she must be seen by a qualified person. Often on the forum if someone reports those two things together, we advise they go to A&E that's how bad it can be. As your mom is seeing her GP today, then s/he will be able to suggest the appropriate treatment, and she will be absolutely fine, so don't worry, but do always keep high ketones matched with high BG in mind.
