[QUOTE="busydiabeticmum, post: 1520113, member: 160151"] I have had '++' and '++++' Ketones in previous pregnancies while on insulin... the midwives didn't bat an eye lid and seemed more concerned with the glucose and protein in my urine... they did take a blood test to check that my liver wasn't shutting down but they didn't seem that concerned after the blood results came back. None of my kids have been adversely affected by Ketones in the way you describe and I think telling a pregnant woman this, when her Dr hasn't is likely to bring undue stress to her! If the Dr was worried that her Ketones were too high I am sure she would not have been allowed home and put on an iv. My husband is a phlebotomist and a lab technician, all of them will tell you the same thing... Ketones in pregnancy is normal. Yes too high is bad for you but then too high glucose is just as bad and can cause even more trouble. (Not being said nastily just experience and knowledge learnt) [/QUOTE]
