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).
