I am a little confused about the low carb diets like Atkins. My sister and a friend of mine tried the diet and I remember them both talking about having to go through ketoacidosis and they checked for ketones to see if they reached it.
I thought ketoacidosis was dangerous and ketones causes kidney damage. Dont type 1's have to check for ketones if their bs gets over a certain level.
I think I am well below my daily carb allowance that the dietician gave me. Following that diet, I get 165grams or 11 carb servings a day. Does that sound a little high?
