[QUOTE="Rose22, post: 2208007, member: 509613"] Hello, Earlier in the week my blood sugars went up to 20, panic! As had been nicely in range. I called nurse and she told me to keep testing blood sugars and for ketones. To double my meds. She thought maybe I was about to be ill...sure enough Friday sore throat and bad stomach, general achy lethargic etc. Today blood sugars are back lower, waking was 7 and before lunch 6. So I haven’t tested for ketones. I did when bs was 20 and result was 0.1. Do you test when Ill if bs normal? Or test ketones only when Ill with high bs levels? I only have a few ketone strips left. Today feel ill but bs seem ok. Many thanks for advice. [/QUOTE]
