Why Keto Diet is Dangerous

Here is one reason why keto diet is dangerous.

I have been on this diet, and it has some great benefits. However….

Friends, beware!

Particularly if you are blogging in the dieting niche. There are some trendy diets out there like the keto that are extremely dangerous especially for those who have a specific medical history .

This was not the post I was supposed to write tonight. I was planning to write a different post, but after hearing this true and tragic story tonight I thought this was a very important post to write.

A friend of mine in the medical field (who I will keep anonymous) told me a horrific story related to the reason why keto diet is dangerous, and I took this story as a foreboding warning.

And what literally SCARED the be-jebbers out of me as I was once on this diet. The only saving grace is that I was strictly on the diet only for 2 months, then for several months I have not really been on the diet. And I've never taken dietary supplements.

Why Keto Diet is Dangerous: A Sad Story

I will give you the gist of it, and not overcomplicate it with too many medical details.

My friend is a highly qualified and licensed EMT trainer who volunteers to take emergency calls in rural areas. She was called out with other EMT responders because they had received a call that a new mother had dropped to the floor, and was unresponsive. The mother was only 28 years old.

During her recent pregnancy, the mother had only mild diabetes requiring diet control, which is common during pregnancies and usually not very serious.

She gave her emergency life-stabilizing drugs; however the young woman was not responding. When she drew her blood, the woman’s blood sugar was too high to measure accurately, and showed she was in ketoacidosis shock (a deadly complication of diabetics).

Anyone who is in ketoacidosis shock is in a dire life-threating situation, Ladies and Gents!

Her IV's fluids were changed to try and flush the acid levels down from her bloodstream. She was given insulin and then transported to the nearest Hospital. 

As of this morning, this 28-year old woman remains in critical condition and unresponsive. She appears to have permanent brain and kidney damage..

Why Am I Telling You This Sad Story

This mother was following a website blogger about the currently trendy and controversially dangerous Keto diet. The 28-year old mother had all the Keto supplements in her bathroom cabinet when she was found. Her distraught husband on the scene further authenticated this.

These keto supplements helped pushed her further into diabetic shock.

The blogger she was following, had an affiliate link on their website to Amazon where these supplements were being sold. There was no warning on the site for diabetics, or about the drug’s inherent danger toward diabetics.

What happened to this mother, was she still had mild postpartum diabetes, that combined with her keto diet and supplements caused her to go into Ketoacidosis shock!

Indeed, the keto diet is dangerous when the you are a diabetic!

The doctors were over the top livid when they put the whole story together. They were literally cursing out website bloggers. Her husband showed my friend the 28-year old mother’s computer diet on the blogger’s site. He knew she was on the diet to lose her baby fat, but did not know all the facts about it.

We will all pray for this unfortunate 28-year old mother who currently remains in critical condition, fighting for her life. The local community has already set up help for the father, but he has a long road to travel. Sadly, there is a strong possibility he will be raising a two-year-old and a 6-week old baby, all by himself.

Perhaps the site owner did not even know why keto diet is dangerous and how dangerous the dirty supplements they were selling was for diabetics. Well, they do now. My friend left them a comment they will not soon forget.
