Emma, if you are in ketosis (below 1.5) with normal blood sugar (enough insulin) then it means you are burning fat as fuel BUT if you have high ketones and high blood sugar (not enough insulin) then you are at risk of ketoacidosis (DKA) which is a life threatening condition. Please be very careful.I've had high ketones in the same region you've got for about four weeks... My nurse told me if I start to feel ill and sick then to go to A and E other than that she has just told me to check them once daily.
She put me on insulin last Thursday but I've only done it once. She said it was to lower my sugar and ketones. I'm scared to lose the ketones as I know they help you lose weight... I know I shouldn't be thinking this way.
Hi, as you know I've kept an interest in your health since you first joined, but there is no need to run high to lose weight, you can do it with the LCHF diet and get into ketosis, as Robert said.I've had high ketones in the same region you've got for about four weeks...

saying you were lucky sounds stupid, but if it had to happen, it was good that it happened at the Dr's.I recently found out I was seriously ill. My ketones were 1.1 and my BG was 24.8. I didn't feel sick but passed out in my doctors office. Found out I was type 1, it runs in the family. I'm 19 years old and fit and healthy. Go and get it checked because its not something you can put off. Good luck! Xx
sorry what is ketones, and dka

There is lots of support here for you if you want to lose weight, as you would know from the weight loss threads. Please look after yourself and get your BG in range.
Now for a Granpar lecture
Running your sugar high and having ketones making yourself sick will lose weight. It's an emotional trap down a bad path and they even have a name for the disorder, Diabulimia. You know you are damaging your body, even if you aren't feeling symptoms. uncontrolled BG will lead to serious complications, blindness and amputations are at the end of it
I look forward to seeing you and your wii on youtubeThank you Jack... I will start taking insulin from tomorrow and do as my dn says... I took my weight today in boots and am going to todo it every Tuesday and try and lose weight the proper way.
To be honest Ketones have confused me... I want my sugar down. I've got myself Zumba for the wii...
