can I have a local at the dentist while in ketosis???
 
Low blood sugar I guess can cause a problem with anaesthetics. When I had my eyeliner tattood this morning the tattooist kept trying to give me sweets as she was concerned that anaesthetics cause a dip in blood sugar and my levels would already probably be low due to dieting (I'm not sure whether we stabilise after a few days on this programme tbh to whether we just get used to it). Either way I was okay, and I guess the best option would be to mention it prior to treatment incase you go light headed or faint (not that they are not used to that even from people who are eating).
 
I don't think it affects the ketosis, but you run the risk of fainting as anaesthetic causes your blood sugar levels to drop apparently, which if they are already low may make you feel crappy. Assuming you feel ok now I wouldn't be too worried.
