Technically diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disease, where the body is unable to produce enough (or any) insulin, which causes these very high glucose levels in blood plasma of patients who have it.

Due to the severity of these tests, they are to be taken in a health care setting and, «if your doctor determines that your blood glucose level is very high, or if you have classic symptoms of high blood glucose in addition to one positive test, your doctor may not require a second test to diagnose diabetes,» according to the American Diabetes Association.

It's very important that type 1 diabetics don't get into a dangerous state called ketoacidosis (very high levels of ketones and glucose).

Touching on these ideas even at the very highest level raises questions about a bunch of other topics, such as simple carbs versus complex carbs, glucose, insulin sensitivity and insulin resistance, fasting, the gut microbiome, and even conditions such as diabetes and cancer.

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).

Also, to mention the Atkins diet, in the book I read, the diet begins with a two week very low carb diet [20 grams of carbo perday] in order to transition the body into a state of nutritional ketosis, using ketones not glucose / insulin for energy generation; however, it is not intended to be a permanent such state but rather for the dieter to gradually add in carbs; however, is one added in only up to the limit, which varies from person to person, of carbs to just below the lvel that would transition out of ketosis, then Atkins would work with that in mind and requiring monitoring for blood or urine ketone levels and must needs be high fat,, moderate protein, and low carbs

Risk factors for GDM that are modifiable during pregnancy include excessive weight gain which is a very frequent phenomenon that is observed in a majority of pregnant women (in up to 75 % of pregnancies).35 36 Further modifiable risk factors include lifestyle behaviours such as low levels of physical activity, high fat and animal protein consumption, high intake of added sugar and low intake of vegetable and fruit fiber.37 Regular food intake and avoidance of snacking can have beneficial effects on weight and glucose tolerance, but this has mostly been tested outside of pregnancy.38 — 42 Another key factor is mental health.
