One of my doctors had advised the below. I am confused.
Low Carb High Fat diet is not recommended for Diabetics. Our body needs continuous energy which can be easily available only from carbohydrates. A high fat diet in the long run can raise ketones levels in the blood and cause Keto Acidosis in the patient which is a life threatening condition. Fibre rich carbohydrates will ensure slow and gradual release of glucose in the blood.
Google ketosis AND ketoacidosis.
Ketosis is life, runaway ketoacidosis is death.
Ketones are produced when fat is burned for energy and it is said that ketones accumulated in the body can lead to ketoacidosis. So, should we- LCHF followers- check ketones periodically ?
AFAIK
Ketones are made only when on long fasts and on VLC diet (less than 50 gm per day). Dangerously high levels will only show up when there is absence of insulin (type 1).
Dr's have been trained on this what they have to recommend
They have Confusion on what is nutritional Ketosis and what is keto acidosis
i started eating egg /almonds/ cashewnut/ wallnuts sir / fruits sir
very soon i will start eating other fat foods cheese paneer etc chicken
ok sir i will do as u mentioned
I did testing once or twice to see if i was spilling ketones, but it turns out, i'm not able. The body doesn't allow it to happen no matter how high the blood sugars go for me.
