Lactate, which increases during starvation, can induce hepatic ketogenesis.2 Low - carbohydrate, fat - rich meals can enhance alpha - cell secretion of glucagon and lower insulin concentrations.3, 4 Plasma fatty acid concentrations can be twice as high during low - carbohydrate diets as compared with the usual carbohydrate intake in the postabsorptive period.5 Increased concentrations of free fatty acids in the absence of carbohydrate - induced inhibition of beta - oxidation of fatty acids and in the presence of an abnormally high ratio of glucagon to insulin and elevated concentrations of lactate may have
caused ketoacidosis in our patient, who was trying to avoid all dietary carbohydrates.
