[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 1904302, member: 196898"] You have a greater risk than me that's sure. Please make sure you are aware of the symptoms of DKA. I am lucky in that I was running with bgl off scale on my meter (>32mmol/l) without worrying about ketones since I knew I was still producing my own insulin, and that in time my levels were dropping. It was not a recommended state thats for sure, but I did not get DKA and since then I have learnt to control my bgl muxh better such that my GP has registered me as Normal. Ketones are only a problem when higher than normal. Nutritional ketones can register up to about 5 mmol/l without being any problem, and it is when they get to 10 or above that the blue lights should start flashing since that is an abnormal level not usually caused just by diet or exercise.
