For type 1 diabetics, it can be caused by a severe lack of insulin • Below 0.5 mmol/L • If you’re readings are too low you may need to avoid all obvious sources of carbs, but also to be careful with your protein intake • Excess protein will converted into glucose in the body - large amounts of protein can also raise your insulin levels somewhat, which compromises optimal ketosis • Between 0.5 3 mmol/L • Nutritional Ketosis • *1.5-3 mmol/L is the optimal range for fat burning* • Known as nutritional ketosis, a state where the body is using ketones as a fuel source efficiently and safely • In individuals without diabetes or in those with controlled diabetes, having insulin on board to maintain healthy blood sugar levels keeps ketone production in the safe range • This is achieved by reducing carbohydrate-intake to below 50 grams, because when glucose from food is limited, but blood sugars are still in a healthy range and enough insulin is present, the body will begin to burn body fat for fuel instead, producing low levels of ketones in the bloodstream • Ketones in the 1-3 mmol/l range are not acidifying the body • Over 3 mmol/L • Starvation Ketosis • Starvation ketones are simply the result of not eating enough food over the course of several hours • Ketoacidosis • Because ketones are acid substances, high ketone concentrations in the blood may create acidosis • Ketoacidosis, commonly referred to diabetic ketoacidosis, is a very dangerous state where an individual with uncontrolled diabetes is effectively starving due to lack of insulin • In normal individuals, or those with well controlled diabetes, insulin acts to cancel the feedback loop and slow and stop the overproduction of ketones (insulin has a suppressant effect on ketone production) • Without this feedback loop, dangerous levels of ketones build up, acidifying the body • References • 1) Pmhdev.
