This question seemed more of a medical one then a pet, so I put it here.

Answer 1

Alcoholic ketoacidosis causes elevated ketones in the bloodstream. It comes from drinking too much alcohol.

I sincerely hope this is not an issue with your cat. You may want to consider reposting the question in the Pets section... most of us who hang out over here know only about humans.

Answer 3

I am writing to tell you what an incredible impact these methods had on my life! I have had type 2 diabetes for 27 years. For me, the worst part of this horrible disease is the severe pain I constantly get in my feet. The pain is so bad that I avoid standing and walking as much as possible. I've got to tell you that within the first month, my feet stopped hurting altogether and I can now walk totally pain free.

Believe it or not, I even danced at my niece's wedding last month, something I have not done in a many years. I've been following the book for six months now and my blood sugar is well within normal range. I feel great!

I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

Answer 4

The Atkins diet and other similar high-protein, low-carb diets can cause elevated ketones, which is a dangerous condition.
