Gang,
\nAs I’ve been going back through "Think Like a Pancreas" and reading my ‘new’ copy of "Using Insulin" I’ve come across this term ‘ketoacidosis’ again and watching your ‘ketones’ when exercise is involved… I’m a little lost here.<\/p>\n

Most Atkins people talk about WANTING to ‘achieve ketosis’ as a GOOD thing that means you start burning ‘fat’. But then that ‘same process’ seems like it can be ‘bad’ for a diabetic if it turns into ‘ketoacidosis’. <\/p>\n

I need a little schooling on the bad and the good here. I WANT to burn FAT — Don’t I??? <\/p>\n

Can you give me some insight? Or point me to a thread where this is discussed in detail? Keep in mind I’m on insulin (see my sig) and I don’t super lo carb and have no intention of doing the Atkins diet. But where’s the balancing point for a guy that wants to drop that other 75 or so he needs to meet his goals — but doesn’t want fat floating around in my blood stream –if that’s even the issue. And there are lots of folks that don’t do Atkins or even particularly lo carb that lose a lot of weight. So I’m pretty confused.<\/p>\n

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer this ‘newb’ on this topic of ‘ketones’ in general: the bad and the good.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
