Following a couple of months of believing I was less than 20g carbs then discovering all the extra carbs I consumed in nicotine lozenges I have for the last week been actually, ,properly 5-15 carbs. The weight is coming down again, my bg is mostly in the 5s and I feel great.
What about ketoacidosis ? Google tells me its unusual but can happen in type 2. Should I be supplementing with electrolytes ? (I typed that like I knew what I was talking about, I really don't)
I bought the wee test strips and if I'm understanding properly they should be pink. The last three mornings they have been very dark purple (the last or next to last colour on the strip) I think that means I'm in ketosis and all is well.
I drink lots and wee lots but I've done that for weeks now and otherwise I feel better than ever.
I think the actual question is - Do I have to worry about ketoacidosis and is there anything to be done to avoid it?
Edited for spelling (its early)
