Is Ketogenic Diet Safe For Diabetes Patients?

what is your opinion of the newest fad in diets, where people attempt to reach keto-acidosis by ingesting supplements and restricting carbs? I am a type 1 diabetic and know that is a horrible idea for me, but what do I tell my friends who are not diabetic?

Hello,

Of course it is not a good idea even for not diabetic persons and even less for a diabetic. It can increase acidosis leading to coma. Also can damage renal function that may be impaired in you.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
