    I just wanted to throw something in here for the ladies doing low carb that have PCOS, since there is so much wrong going on inside your body. There is a rare and fatal condition called ketoacidosis that is mainly related to type one diabetics but can occur in people with insulin resistance. Even though very rare, you still need to be aware of it. It occurs when your liver continues to produce glucose in your blood stream even though you haven't been eating carbs. If you notice this, you need to visit the emergency right away. Two big signs to keep in mind are constant vomiting and a blood glucose level above 200 when you haven't eaten any carbs. Keep a blood glucose kit near by to check and and see if you're fasting glucose levels are fine, it'll tell you if your liver is producing the correct amount of glucose when not eating carbs. Very rare condition and most people can do fine without carbs or low carbs, just something you should be aware of.
