[QUOTE="ziggy_w, post: 2305967, member: 323454"] Hello [USER=530241]@Daz007[/USER], Welcome to the forum. Glad you found us. Ketosis only happens if insulin is low -- so it has nothing directly to do with blood sugars. (Think of diabetic acidosis -- where there is very high blood sugars and low insulin.) However, for most of us T2s, who have enough endogeneous insulin, of course high blood sugars trigger an insulin response and therefore prevents ketosis. So, the mechanism for ketosis is to lower insulin by eating fewer carbs as to not cause an insulin response. However, as you are injecting exogeneous insulin, I would suggest carefully monitoring blood sugars if you decide to decrease carbs. Cutting out carbs is a very powerful tool to lower blood sugars and combined with insulin might push you into hypo territory. [/QUOTE]
