The article says nutritional ketosis and DKA share only elevated ketones relative to a carbohydrate-heavy diet. The article criticizes discouraging nutritional ketosis on the basis of DKA as a physiological conflation.

The article attributes confusion between ketosis and DKA partly to the shared root word "keto."
