Allsgr8 -Oh I do understand Bio-chem. My mistake was that I thought everybody here did too. After reading all these posts, I understand why nobody understands me. I’m like talking Bio-chem 101 and you’re talking Bio-chem 1. But you are correct in that one thing (I must have been half asleep when I wrote it)- It’s not anaerobic respiration that causes the metabolic acidosis, it’s the ketones. Ketones from the breakdown of fat and other acids cause the metabolic acidosis found in diabetics. Also one thing I’ll try to explain, but after this please read up on your Bio-Chem before you respond to me. People do die from DKA; but what I was saying was- we have other treatments for DKA besides for insulin. So I was using this as a proof that insulin isn’t actually needed to sustain life.
Either you understand my point or you don’t, but it IS logical.
