alright guys so today we’re gonna talk

about type 1 diabetes should they do

keto or should they not do keto to

minimize the risk of ketoacidosis okay

so first thing let’s talk about what is

a type 1 it’s a situation where the

cells that make insulin are

dysfunctional they’re not making insulin

anymore so you have no insulin

production okay so you have to take

insulin why because insulin lowers blood

sugar and if you don’t have an insulin

you’re going to have very very high

blood sugar levels and that’s really bad

now let’s say for example you’re a type

1 and you forget to take your insulin

your blood sugars will rise okay so

let’s say for example they get up to 300

or more milligrams per deciliter okay

that’s pretty high so when you have this

high sugar and no insulin you can’t

absorb the glucose because insulin is

like the key that opens the door to

allow the glucose to go in the cell no

insulin

you can’t that glucose can’t get in no

exception your brain your brain can

absorb glucose because it’s not

dependent on insulin so mentally you

might feel fine but there’s a lot of

other problems happening with the body

now what the body will do if you can’t

use glucose if your body is going to

break down fat in the fatty acids and

ketones same thing with muscle and even

organs it’s going to start breaking

these down to deliver some fuel to such

a degree that potentially your ketones

can get very very high so if they’re

over 9 up to like 15 that can be very

dangerous but realize this is happening

because the person’s not taking their

insulin okay

and they’re probably requiring a lot of

insulin too because they’re not on the

right eating plan the more carbs that

you eat the more insulin you need when

you do ki tell the need for insulin goes

way way down so if you don’t have to

take as much to regulate your blood

glucose

you’re gonna have less ketoacidosis now

realize that when the ketones are that

high you’re getting a lot of acid in the

body so your pH can change to go more on

the acid side and that’s very dangerous

and this is why it’s so important when

you’re doing heat out to do the healthy

version of keto and I’m talking a lot of

vegetables the vegetables have alkaline

minerals that help buffer this acid

situation so it’s going to be really

hard to get this condition if you’re

consuming a healthy diet because what

happens if you have high blood sugar and

you’re not taking enough electrolytes

from either vegetables or externally

then you’re gonna actually lose your

electrolytes you’ll lose potassium

because when the if you have high sugar

even like above 225 you’re gonna start

spilling off glucose into your urine and

with that comes a lot of electrolytes so

you can lose your electrolytes and you

need these for heart function to prevent

arrhythmias and and not to mention a lot

of other things as well so we have the

severe dehydration with no electrolytes

it’s very dangerous high sugar which

creates a whole bunch of issues

ketoacidosis which actually is very very

dangerous but if you understand this

mechanism you can prevent this problem

number one make sure you monitor your

blood glucose levels so then you can

know how much insulin to take because

when you go on a keto plant then you

need for insulin goes down so what’s

going to happen you’re gonna not need as

much overtime you’re the healthy version

of ketosis to make sure that you’re

taking the electrolytes if you are ever

in a situation where you have

ketoacidosis and you have high levels of

ketone if it’s above nine what I would

recommend is to start taking

electrolytes very fast potassium

magnesium and even sodium because those

things will help buffer the damaging

effect from that acid but if you’re

doing healthy keto you’ll never end up

in that situation the first place

alright thanks for watching

so if you’ve personally benefited from

the information that I put on my videos

I would love to actually see your

success story too

I’ll put a link down below so you can

upload your before and after pictures
