Yes but probably not long term.. maybe short term . My sister was in ketoacidosis this year and it requires hospital stay... have you gone in to get on an IV? It's very important, as doctors will bring down the sugars for you, in a controlled setting. It will have a good amount of insulin per hour in the drip, plus a small amount of sugar as to not crash too low.
My sister was advised basically low carbs, and protein at each meal ...once off the IV. (I believe 30 carb per meal was ok, after the IV treatment).

@SW-User Ok, talk to the nurses or doctor who you saw, even if you need to on the phone. They will give you a general plan. I think keto can be too extreme in some cases because we do need some carbs in a day. And my sister can typically have 25 or 30 at a meal..which I think is more than even keto. So just check with them and you'll have a good idea.
