But a person with a functioning pancreas could avoid carbs completely (I'm not suggesting you do it) and only be in «ketosis» — a level of ketones about a tenth of what's required
for ketoacidosis.
In terms of safety, the biggest risk associated with a ketogenic diet is the potential
for ketoacidosis, which occurs when ketosis goes too far.

We would like to emphasize that ketosis is a completely physiological mechanism and it was the biochemist Hans Krebs who first referred to physiological ketosis to differentiate it from the pathological keto acidosis seen in type 1 diabetes.8 In physiological ketosis (which occurs during very - low - calorie ketogenic diets), ketonemia reaches maximum levels of 7/8 mmol / l (it does not go higher precisely because the CNS efficiently uses these molecules
for energy in place of glucose) and with no change in pH, whereas in uncontrolled diabetic
ketoacidosis it can exceed 20 mmol / l with a concomitant lowering of blood pH9, 10 (Table 1).
Ketoacidosis can be a life - threatening complication
for those suffering from diabetes.

Waiting till a cat shows cat diabetes symptoms (especially by the time they stop eating or go into a coma in
ketoacidosis) makes it much harder
for treatment, and creates a poor prognosis (long - term outlook
for health).
