[QUOTE="KK123, post: 2315077, member: 451727"] Hi Ian, I don't think there is an issue with type 1s being in nutritional ketosis as such but if for some reason your glucose levels go very high (maybe due to an illness or something going on with a lack of background insulin etc), THEN it can become dangerous very quickly as the two together (no insulin & high levels) can lead to acidity and DKA bearing in mind if you're in keto then you are already sitting there with the ketones.. That's how my Consultant put it. Also (as with type 2s and different ways of approaching things), ANY individual can choose a way of life and my view is that as long as they know the danger/potential for harm and so on then there is no right or wrong. As usual eh, you will find people defending THEIR approach as if it was the only one. My motto is simply to be informed before deciding. That DR you mention clearly IS an expert on his own diabetes but the problem arises when what he does is put out to the general diabetic public who may not have all the background information or know their own bodies as well as the Dr knows his. x [/QUOTE]
