Why do we have Insulin or Keytones?
Keytones are what your fat leaves behind when it's eaten by cells. Your cells eat fat when it has nothing else to eat. Cells eat sugar. insulin is the bridge that connects sugar to cells, so when u don't make insulin or enough your cells starve. Keytones and sugar that your liver doesn't use/can't use (none or not enough insulin) gets the boot through urine.
Why worry about keytones? Keytones are VERY acidic and can cause death if not cured.
