Theresa,

It's my understanding that as long as your body makes some insulin, one's

ketone levels won't kill. That's why most type 2 diabetics don't go into

ketoacidotic comas or DKA like type ones. Type two's usually go into

hyperosmolar ( I want to say shock, but i don't think that's right) ?shock

from having such high bloodsugars.
