Does High Blood Sugar Level Lead To Burning Of Body Fat?
I m on a low carb diet because I have type 2 diabetes, I m on meds......but I wanted to know when checking to see if I m burning fat with my ketones strip and the color is almost deep pink not purple......how do I know if I m burning fat due to the diet or is my diabetes high.....I m been on low carbs 20-40 grams for over a week now...
Yes. High blood sugar results in burning of fat. This is because when your blood sugar level is high, your body won't get enough fuel it needs, as a result, it burns fat and muscle for energy.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
