[QUOTE="Antje77, post: 2691103, member: 372207"] Ketones aren't the problem in DKA, it's the acidosis. Those ketones are simply a byproduct which is easy to measure, and therefore used by T1's to rule out DKA or rule in the [I]possibility[/I] of DKA. Having ketones without the acidosis is not DKA, it's simply ketosis, the thing anyone on a keto diet is looking for, hence the name. There are many T1's using a keto diet to help manage their diabetes. The main downside I see is that ketone testing won't tell you if you're at risk of DKA or not when you're in ketosis. [/QUOTE]
