So, don’t take too many carbs while your on the keto diet.

(Pretty sure everyone on the keto diet works this out pretty quickly after doing their first cheat meal)

I think what it means is that it could cause Type 2 diabetes. People are often told to avoid glucose to prevent diabetes, but too much prevention might also cause it.

I’m not convinced pumping mice in ketosis with human insulin brings us even slightly close to concluding this.

It’d be more conclusive to start testing actual humans who it can be proven have stuck to a keto diet.
