[QUOTE="Robbity, post: 1097360, member: 93179"] To reassure you further: I'm type 2 on 100mg metformin - also Metabet SR (for over 18 months), and I have eaten a low carb ketogenic diet without any problems for about 2 years now. My ketone levels go [B]nowhwere[/B] near danger levels, and under normal circumstances type 2s on oral medication shouldn't ever suffer from ketoacidosis as (and I'm open to correction here) it's a combination of high ketone levels plus severe lack of insulin that cause it - and that lack is something we definitely don't have! As [USER=211504]@TorqPenderloin[/USER] says ketosis and ketoacidosis are quite different, and there seems to be a lot of confusion over the two even in the medical (and pharmaceutical) professions, and the Metabet information leaflet definitely contains incorrect information/advice on this!
