hi there,

Click on Low Carb Tips, from the orange menu bar near the top of the page. Have a read through the article Ketosis and Ketone Testing Strips. That will explain the difference between Diabetic Ketoacidosis and Benign Dietary Ketosis. Ketoacidosis is a result of high blood sugars and lack of insulin, as occurs in diabetics. Benign ketosis such as from a ketogenic diet like Atkins or Protein Power .. is, as the name suggests, totally benign and harmless.
