DietDoctor posted a new interview with Dr. Westman (membership page). A possible new caution for a new drug was mentioned. I have no personal experience with it, but adding that section from the transcript here:
Quote:
This is Dr. Westman's caution for the new diabetes drug. He will not assume something until proven, but he has a concern:
"Well, it's interesting, I mean new drugs came out all the time
and now, we have this drug for diabetes,
which helps you urinate sugar through your kidney and you lose it that way. And actually we're very concerned about the...
even the drug itself can cause ketosis,
it's called the normal glycemic ketoacidosis, it's the drug that does it.
But so, many of my patients are put on that drug
and I don't like that combination. Low-carb and the drug?
Yeah.
-Ketoacidosis warning, huh?
-Yeah.
Well, I don't know if it's any more likely than if you're not on a ketogenic diet, but--I would guess it is.
Although it can be quite effective, right?
So, it's like a double edged sword.
Effective for losing weight or reversing diabetes,
but also there's the risk of ketoacidosis."
