courtney  I might be totally wrong but I don't think you can technically be in ketosis if you have glucose around and in this case, the patient eats only carbs +1
chaosawaits  You can't be in ketosis if you have insulin around, not glucose. Hence, T1DM can have DKA but T2DM typically does not. Both still have glucose, like everyone living. +
