How do I reduce Ketones from low BG?

[samdiabetez]

Hey,

I want to know how to stop ketones when sugars are always low please. I wake up and its around 1.3 for the past 5 days due to not eating because of lack of appetite from gastritis. I have been eating one small meal a day hardly any carbs.

Please help. Im away in Japan now and dont know how to get emergency help here if i need it.

Thanks

To mention, i feel like im getting sick from ketones although I have no ketone strips to check. I had DKA last year and was hospitalized.

You can get starvation ketones if you don’t eat enough carbs.
A good carby meal and plenty of fluids may help x

If your blood glucose is low then DKA is not an issue. The ketones from low carbing are the natural product of the process, and are nothing to do with starvation.
As long as your intake of insulin is in balance with the amount of glucose in your blood as produced from digestion or by your liver all should be well.

If your blood glucose is low then DKA is not an issue.

Unless SGLT2 inhibitors are being taken....... (They are now being given to a few people with Type1)
