I just read through that---and I knew there was a difference between ketosis and ketoacidosis....but for some reason I wrote ketoacidosis when asking my question.

So let me ask you this...

Since I am a diabetic (Type II) on medication for the past 8 years--borderline diabetic I might add...as long as I keep checking my blood sugars (which are very normal)--then I don't have anything to worry about with ketosis?

I guess that's my concern--being that I'm already a diabetic, I'm scared that I'll go into some sort of crash or something. (even though I never have).

It's funny---during the past week of my first week of induction, I wanted nothing more than to see purple sticks---now that I see them, it freaks me out.

I am leaving on vacation this weekend, but I do plan on calling my nephrologist to make sure this plan is ok for me. (I take Prinivil for Stage 1 kidney nephropathy due to this borderline diabetes--supposedly).

Have any other insight for me? Thanks a lot.
