Re: Marijuana and diabetes
The study wasn't a controlled experiment designed to prove whether or how cannabis might directly cause ketoacidosis. But it's possible that vomiting caused by long-term cannabis use might lead to dehydration that can increase ketones and lead to ketoacidosis in people with type 1 diabetes, said senior study author Dr. Viral Shah of the Barbara Davis Center for Diabetes at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora.
That "study" is kinda stretching to make its point.
400 something participants with POORLY CONTROLLED diabetes.
The symptoms are easily explained by the poor control.
