Message: <blockquote data-quote="Canada75" data-source="post: 1748366" data-attributes="member: 471397">Another question I have from the Diet Doctor One word of warning though: A strict low carb diet results in ketosis, a normal physiological state. A very strict low-carb diet that also restricts protein to moderate amounts can result in quite high, but still physiological, ketone levels (>1.5 mmol/L).This is fine for healthy people, but in type 1 diabetes this means you’re uncomfortably close to ketoacidosis (usually at least 10-15 mmol/L). All that’s needed then is forgetting an insulin shot or two, or an insulin pump malfunction, and you might end up very sick in the hospital.How do I test for this ? Any can anyone expand on the comments from the DD?  Thanks</blockquote>
