Aaahhhh !! -- if you have been ill -- that makes levels harder to maintainthanks a lot for your help. i’ve been ill for a couple of weeks so that’s why the levels are slightly high like up to 12, bit worried about getting a hb1ac as i’ve not had one before and my levels have gone up to 12.
that is about the lowest number possible -- so is a good result !!Thanks everyone. I did a ketone test and it was 0.1 mmol/l and I don't actually know what that means
that is about the lowest number possible -- so is a good result !!
- Under 0.6 mmol/L - a normal blood ketone value
- 0.6 to 1.5 mmol/L - indicates that more ketones are being produced than normal, test again later to see if the value has lowered
- 1.6 to 3.0 mmol/L - a high level of ketones and could present a risk of ketoacidosis. It is advisable to contact your healthcare team for advice.
- Above 3.0 mmol/L - a dangerous level of ketones which will require immediate medical care.
i am happy with that sort of number 2 hours post meal.........himtoo is 8.4 mmol/l okay for 2 hours after a meal?
I've got glasses I went to vision express everything else was fine thanksAS @himtoo says, temporary vision problems are not unusual when first diagnosed with diabetes as the glucose levels in the lens of the eye gradually stabilise. Retinopathy is almost unheard of in someone with Type 1 diabetes within the first 5 years of diagnosis so your retinopathy test was as expected. Although changes in glucose levels is the most likely cause of your current vision problems, it's still worth getting checked by an optician (free for people with diabetes in the UK) to rule out other causes, which will help put your mind at rest.
That's good then thanks a lot. But spiked up to 15.4 tonight I tested 3 hours after meal... took correction code and 2 hours later was down to 9.5 so I'm kind of happy about thati am happy with that sort of number 2 hours post meal.........
