We will be selling bottle cap items at http://missbeesboutique.indiemade.com/store or https://www.etsy.com/  go to missbeesboutiqe if you go on esty.

what are ketones and are they bad for me?

 Are ketones bad for me and what are they? I ask myself well this is what I found out.

There are two ways to look at ketones. Here, we are concerned with certain ketones (also called ketone bodies) in the human body, but for the record, a ketone is "a compound containing a carbonyl functional group bridging two groups of atoms" according to Anne Marie Helmenstine, About.com's Guide to Chemistry

There are a number of ketones in the human body, but the ones we are concerned with are generated during fat metabolism. They can be used by most of the cells in the body for energy. Notably, the brain can use ketones for about 70-75% of its energy needs. Ketones are most likely to be generated under certain conditions. That is what ketones are sometimes there good sometimes there bad.  But if my blood sugars over 300 I have to check for ketones.

what is type 1 diabetes

Type 1 diabetes is when your body stops making insulin. But I’m in the honey moon phase. That’s when my body still makes some. But after that I will be making no insulin. Insulin is very important keeps you alive. I keep thinking if I were born in a different time I would be dead. I am so thankful I was born in this time period and that we know how to control diabetes.
