[QUOTE="jack412, post: 685068, member: 97664"] hopefully you are T2 and your BG will be fine in a few weeks..and the following is worse case ... I would contact your Dr again...it could be late onset T1.. you don't sound like a T2 on metformin and diet, diabetic to me. also take onboard what [USER=22572]@pavlosn[/USER] said, I ring and make an appointment and I would ask for the C-peptide blood test [url]http://www.diabetes.co.uk/c-peptide-test.html[/url] better safe than sorry...given you aren't eating, urine ketone strip won't be accurate, I would get the nurse to do a blood ketone test ..if you are financial, I'd simply buy a blood ketone meter and a pack of ketone blood strips, [the meter you bought may or may not take the ketone strips, your chemist will know] if it was me and I had blood glucose over 13 and blood ketones over 1.0-1.5, a trip to A&E is in order.
