[QUOTE="kokhongw, post: 1907102, member: 277199"] That is because they consider only the glucose component and not the ketones. Our brain function with glucose AND ketones. So if ketones avoidance is the main strategy, then there will be no ketones available when glucose drops too low. That is when diabetic coma typcially happens. We can see that in a healthy individual during a 10 day fast. Glucose can drop below 3 mmol (~60 mg/dl) but there is sufficient ketones to keep the brain from shutting down. That is why those on ketogenic diet are able to function with much lower glucose levels.
