Lots lf them (diabetics) absolutely swear by it and consider anything absolute heresy Like I’ve mentioned I’ve had urine ketones with normal bg… the doctor doesn’t even bat an eye. It just means your body is metabolizing fat instead of storing it… that’s why the diet is so effective I’ve never really checked it when sick… come to think of it I don’t think I’ve been truly sick in years ---

I think as a rule, it is better to stay on the “not sick in years” train, as opposed to the other train, that we inhabit. ---

Haha, yeah, as someone who just jumped from the not truly sick in years train to the other…I like the former better. 😆 [Previous page](https://forum.fudiabetes.org/t/bg-levels-when-sick/3460.md?page=2)
