[QUOTE="the_anticarb, post: 160438, member: 16982"] Hi Franky Well I have had type 1.5 diabetes for 18 years (its a rare form of mody) and I've never had DKA despite some pretty high readings over a long time (hba1c of 12 in my worst days!) and I've had retinopahty adn the beginnings of neuropathy. My body does still produce a little of its own insulin (which prevents the DKA) but does not have the ability to respond to sugar levels in the blood. So if there's anything to be read into that I'd say the damage does not occur from the ketosis but from the high levels of sugar in the blood over a long period of time, hope that helps AC [/QUOTE]
