Are you confident following sick day rules - http://www.leicestershirediabetes.org.uk/uploads//documents/Type1_Sickdays_LDC_JAN2015.pdf - to correct for ketones and high blood sugar? If not, call 111 for advice.

How are you now @Jade0106 ?

Hi. I assume you have increased your insulin dosages to try to bring the BS down. Having high'ish ketones is mainly a big risk if your BS is very high and taking more insulin and keeping the carbs way down should help. It's possible whatever illness is making you feel unwell is also increasing your BS? Obviously see the DN if things don't improve.

If it is 18mmol then it is the very high blood sugar. Try low carb. Under 30g a day.
