“Called diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), the condition occurs when there is not enough insulin to break down sugar in the body, so the body burns fat for fuel instead.” - sounds like every dieters dream
- dfraser992 8y agoThe important part of DKA is the imbalance in the pH of the blood, which is a dangerous problem. This sentence is basically false and misleading. Diabetics can thrive (yeah, thrive) on a ketosis type diet. DKA != ketosis, but "dietitians" and "popular wisdom / common sense" don't have much of a clue, as I've concluded over the years.
