Message: <blockquote data-quote="Antje77" data-source="post: 2501462" data-attributes="member: 372207">When eating less than 20 grams carbs a day, you're likely in ketosis so ketostix will show ketones. This doesn't mean you're in DKA.Usually, T1's aren't at risk from ketoacidosis until their BG is at least over 13 for a prolonged time, and usually it doesn't happen until glucose levels are higher than that.A low carb diet doesn't make DKA more or less likely, the only issue with it is that a quick test for ketones won't tell you anything because you're in ketosis anyway.</blockquote>
