At diagnosis my ketones were 6.3 and I was in DKA, this morning they are 2.2 and my sugar level is 17.4. I’ve taken some insulin and going to have a nap before leaving for work at 2pm x

I would imagine there is a box inside the box. like when freestyle libre sensors are delivered they are in a product box inside of a delivery box

There are cases where a patient requires insulin for a period after diagnosis but then goes into what is called the “honeymoon phase”. Ask them for the antibody tests for type one and hopefully you will get a definitive answer!

Well I think if I was a mouse in the trial I would have pooped in the scientist’s coco pops by now just as karma!

please do keep on at your gp, and if all else fails, go to a&e, you could always attend a different hospital a&e if you feel your current hospital are dismissing your symptoms. I was told there was nothing at all wrong with me and it was all psychological right up until the day I was diagnosed...

@DCUKMod, the food parcel part of your comment made me giggle. When my mums friend had her baby she was told she was only allowed water and toast for the three days following whilst she was on the postnatal ward (she ended up with emergency c-section) Breakfast was a glass of water with a...

@Suedaisy, I think that it is allowed for you to put your results on here and we can advise what they mean but cannot make firm diagnosis as we are not doctors, (admin or mods please correct me if I am wrong)
