Is it possible that having food stuck in your stomach for 8 or 9 days, can look like DKA. Or should I say turn into DKA? Due to the misfunction of the digestive System because you had a pound of food stuck in your belly for more than a week

[@Medhead101]

Thanks for the video. How would you differentiate this process from people adopting a ketogenic diet? I presume its because people will still produce insulin on a keto diet, despite rising ketones in the blood? Can some people on a keto diet develop ketoacidosis and if not what prevents this process from happening?

[@ishaat_plays]

Search ketoacidosis diet

[@satpalubhi2196]

good video, i think you meant glycogenolysis rather than glucogenolysis though..

[@statmedicine838]

🤣 you're absolutely right, thanks for pointing that out 💪🏻

[@BeastFrom923]

Excellent fuckin video

[@statmedicine838]
