Unless your blood sugars are way out of control, and you do not take your insulin shots properly the likelihood of developing diabetic ketoacidosis is slim.

Insulin is the natural antagonist for ketones and maintain them are normal safe levels its only if a type 1 were to have high Glucose and Ketones, as well as some dehydration that they would end up acidotic.

There are some great resources available on youtube which covers all the topics for type 1 diabetics from a US doctor who has been diabetic for nearly 70 years himself and in fact he was one of the pioneers as far as glucose monitoring is concerned.

Thanks for all the info! I've got the glucose levels pretty stable these days. I just wish my insulin wasn't so expensive. :)

You should check out Dr Bernstein, he gives some bery good recommendations on how to control your diabetes as a type 1, he uses diluted insulin and obviously doesnt use so much as part of his Low carb program, he also has a book you can read too!!

I will check him out. Thank you!
