(1) Three key features of diabetic acidosis are hyperglycemia, ketosis , and acidosis.(2) The real danger in ketosis is that ketones are acidic, and high levels of ketones make the blood abnormally acid.(3) At diagnosis the affected child may present with weight loss, ketosis , and acidosis.(4) Most authorities recommend that patients with diabetes be given about 5 g of glucose per hour for basal energy requirements and to prevent hypoglycemia, ketosis , and protein breakdown during surgery.(5) The urine ketone dip test was highly sensitive for diabetic ketoacidosis and diabetic ketosis with or without acidosis.(6) Other ketotic states such as alcoholic and starvation ketosis can also produce a positive urine ketone test without corresponding serum ketones, affecting the specificity of the urine dip test for detecting ketonemia.(7) If I see a cow looking a little ketotic , I give her a bottle of dextrose and a little grain, and that usually takes care of it.(8) I was constipated, energy-less, had ketotic breath and was just generally miserable.(9) My body is telling me I will burn other substrates before I'll burn fat and just the most meagre consumption of carbohydrate will switch off that ketotic response.(10) In her research, rats placed on a ketotic , or low-carbohydrate, diet for three weeks were found to have lower levels of serotonin in their brains.
