This blog is to bring together all the Ketosis Prone Diabetics and start a dialog. This is for you if you are not a type 1 but have had a DKA episode or an abrupt onset of type 2 diabetes. We are a different type of diabetic because we can go into a type of remission. The blog uses a lot of minority health info. This is because the syndrome has been explored most extensively in African Americans but it cuts across all ethnic lines and weight classes.

Caution on NSAIDS

I've pointed out a NSAID as the drug I was using to effect my 1st phase insulin response but anyone who is thinking about trying this should be aware of the risks involved. Beyond the usual issues of stomach and intestinal distress, there are other issues. You can read about many of them here.  Jenny's Blood Sugar 101

One thing that she doesn't cover is that NSAIDs are NOT recommended for those who are G6PD deficient because of the chance of hemolytic anemia. If you've been reading this blog you should know that KPD's have a very high rate of this deficiency. So I do urge caution in their use.
