carbohydrates

[Mortblanc]

Ketosis in not a certainty in every carb restricted diet and is not a risk unless the subject is diabetic.

Some medical people feel it is a risk, others feel it is a risk only for those with type 1 diabetes.

It must be noted that severe carb restriction is the first and most effective medically advised treatment for adult onset diabetes. In many cases the carb restriction, and the resulting weight loss due to increased digestive metabolism, place the diabetic into remission with no need for further medication or treatment other than maintaining the restricted diet.

Modern diabetic treatment is as concerned with carb intake as they are with sugar intake, especially in type 2 cases.
