Which statement correctly distinguishes ketosis from ketoacidosis?
A
Ketosis refers to ketone production caused exclusively by diabetes, whereas ketoacidosis only occurs in healthy individuals on low-carb diets.
B
Ketosis is the process of converting carbohydrates to ketones during overfeeding, and ketoacidosis is the beneficial correction of blood pH by ketones.
C
Ketosis is a controlled increase in ketone production used as alternative fuel during low carbohydrate availability; ketoacidosis is an uncontrolled, excessive ketone accumulation that lowers blood pH to dangerous levels.
D
Ketosis means zero ketone production and normal pH, while ketoacidosis means mild ketone production with no pH change.
