That's a case study of a single patient. Main takeaway:

>Benign dietary ketosis resulting from restricting carbohydrates could, theoretically, cause ketoacidosis in persons with a predisposition to the condition.

That sounds very much like what they were saying. “Theoretically” is closer to “can” than it is to “cannot”.

Also, I said that it’s a risk to be managed. People are acting like I said that it’s a certainty and that not eating sugar constantly as a diabetic will kill you instantly or something.

[village-idiot]

I made it very clear that it’s high ketones while diabetic that causes it. If you’d like to correct that in a more constructive way, that would be helpful.

Type 1, maybe. Type 2, not at all. In fact, a ketogenic diet will reduce or eliminate the symptoms of T2.
