a diabetic has ketones due to stress, will the diabetic loose weight?

Your cells have become resistant to the effects of insulin, which is the hormone produced by your pancreas that causes glucose in the blood to be transferred to the cells. Over the course of many years, if a person eats a high carbohydrate diet, the body produces too much insulin and the cells get tired of all of the sugar being forced into them. So they become resistant and won't "open the door". In turn as the blood glucose levels stay high, the body produces more and more insulin, trying to get the cells to open up and accept the blood sugar. Eventually, the cells become completely resistant to the effects of insulin and at this point it becomes apparent that a person is diabetic. However, the cells then start starving for food, so they start burning fat stores for energy. Ketones are a product of fat metabolism and are excreted in the urine. As the fat stores are used up, the diabetic person loses weight.

You feel bad because your blood sugar is too high and it's imperative that you get your blood sugar under control. Go on a very low carbohydrate diet (no sugar and only very small amounts of complex carbohydrates) to get your blood sugar down to normal levels. Diabetes cannot be cured but its progression can be stopped if you severely limit your carbohydrates.

If your sugar is high all the time then your medication must be changed. You should be working on your diabetes with an endocrinologist - not a general practitioner. An endocrinologist will have more ideas on how to get your sugar back within normal limits. High blood sugar all the time will cause permanent nerve problems and many other life altering secondary conditions. Once your sugar is within normal limits, you'll feel better and your appetite will come back.

Also, there is no acceptable level of ketones!!! If you have small ketones, things are way out of control and need immediate attention. You don't have to go to an emergency room, but you should see a doctor today or tomorrow at the very latest. If you have large ketones then you must see a doctor TODAY.

Ketones are not due to stress, ketones are due to your sugar being waaaay out of control and your cells don't have access to approrpiate energy.

Ketones are a byproduct of weight loss, period. If you have ketones, you're already losing weight. If a healthy person who is on a diet and is losing weight pees on a ketone strip, it will show positive for ketones.

Diabetic ketones are different, they're dangerous. You need to bring your blood sugars under control. If you can't do it on your own you need to see a doctor.

No - you will not lose weight. Type 2's typically make enough insulin but your body is resistant to it. The extra insulin is often stored as fat. There are some Type 2's that just don't make enough insulin but they are typically very thin to begin with.

You really need to get your blood sugar under control. I don't want to scare you but high blood sugar paired with high ketones puts you at very high risk for developing ketosis acidosis and it can be deadly. My father had this with high blood sugar and ketones that was uncontrolled and was nearly in a coma when they brought him to the hospital. He stayed there for over a week. It's not something to mess around with. Please get yourself checked out.

The high protein diets aim for ketones in the urine to lose weight...however these are "starvation" ketones and result when you are not eating enough and do not have high blood sugar.

Hope this helps.

nicely as a diabetic we could desire to computer screen our carb intake. that's the reason for the intense blood sugar besides because of the fact the burden benefit. attempt to persist with a decrease carb weight loss plan. workout is a could desire to, no longer in straight forward terms does it administration blood sugar it helps in dropping weight.
