My endocrinologist has been running a research trial of low carb/keto eating Type 1s. I had mentioned that my blood ketones could sometimes be quite high even with normal BGs. This led to an interesting discussion of how do I know that as a Type 1 that I'm just in nutritional ketosis and not euglycemic DKA? I said I went by symptoms (I've had several very unpleasant DKA experiences) - but he's still evaluating to see if  recommending  low carb/keto to Type 1s is safe, and asked me to more regularly check my ketones, especially in the morning when they can be highest. Info above from [USER=491092]@jonathan183[/USER] is also interesting as I am quite prone to letting myself get dehydrated.</blockquote>
