Hi everyone,
Just a quick worry. I'm a 17 year old type one diabetic of five years. I've been ill for a couple of days, fluey type ill cold and achey joints.. my sugars haven't been running any higher than normal, 10 max. last night i was horribley sick, around five times in two hours. i still feel rotten today but haven't been sick again, thank goodness! this morning at around nine my ketones were on max from my test strips with my suagrs around 4 and i put this down to throwing up everything i ate yesterday with little insulin. i went out for a meal, low carb and took normal insulin, now, at five, my ketones are still on 4+ which is the maximun on my test strips... :thumbdown:
Can anyone help, me out with whether this is normal and what i should do next?!!
Thanks in advance,
Lois
