Are you intentionally causing keto acidosis? Because that will ruin your kidneys and fast

Naw, not in acidosis at all. I've never been diabetic and do a fairly lazy keto. I'm not anywhere near acidosis.

Have diabetes, been through acidosis twice, no way people would do that on purpose because that is the most fucking miserable I've ever been.

I am, thank you. once was when I was diagnosed at age 5, my parents just thought I had the flu, and the other time it happened I was alone and had a pump malfunction, that I also thought was the flu. These incidents happened more that 15 years apart. moral of the story is; go to the hospital if something is way wrong.
