A member asked:
Which type of sugar will get you out of ketosis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It's not the sugar: Ketosis happens when you metabolize fat as your body's main source of energy. It happens to all of us if we fast. Ketosis is a particular problem for type i diabetics. It happens if they stop taking insulin. It is also a danger in the setting of infections and other acute medical problems. Non-diabetics get out of ketosis by eating anything with carbs. Type i diabetics require insulin.
