Normally 100-110 :( and yes that resting Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Thanks everyone got replies. I have decided to start checking daily for ketones as standard. I have blood ketone monitor and GP allows as many prescriptions as I want (**** lucky). I'm so worried about not being around to see my children grow up knowing the risks of DKA. I have recently been...

Thanks for replies, my Dsn describes me as ketone prone despite my very best efforts I have had full DKA 7 times in 12 months and borderline 3 times, sometimes through illness and with high blood sugars but 3 times with very normal blood sugars. I went to routine appointment Friday bm's normal...

Was just wondering if there was any other ketone prone T1's on here? From research I've done ketone prone is often used for T2's. Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Hi all, Was just wondering how many diabetics had asthma? After months of query chest infections GP and I agree that if have asthma. Having done abit of research have found a few studies about a link between the two, my control has not been good and in research it seems to say that untreated...

Anyone seen East Midlands today? A type1 worker has been sent home as they will not allow him to carry sweets into work as they tightening security. Workers are only allowed water. Despite being on insulin and explaining he need to carry hypo treatment they are refusing to let him. Surely this...

Personally I would be asking to go on to desperate injections so you don't have to eat as much, will mean maybe 3 extra injections but should help to prevent hypos. Good luck with your appointment and hopefully others will be able to give you more advice Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

26 bloody posts in the early hours for kitchens from several 'users' surely they should get the hint we don't want kitchens. Haven't they got anything better to do with there time like sleep! Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Lad complaining of stinging when weeing, checked for protein and found high glucose nothing else. I'm waiting for docs to ring back but in a right state. I'm worried sick. He petrified of blood checks he had to have them before and once took 3 adults to pin him down for it. If it is I don't know...

Don't stay in a relationship just for kids, my partner did for a long time. His eldest is 10 now and has done her no good, being civil just isn't enough. Think of it this way do you want your children growing up thinking this is a normal adult relationship? For them in 20 years to be in same...

Firstly, being a committed father doesn't mean you have to stay together I am not with my sons dad but he is commuted, has him every Friday might sees him in the week and speak on phone most days, if I have any issues is there straight away. You have to do what's best. I would personally take...

Re: Warning about Dka and illness. I would maybe also try using the point that ketostix pick up in starvation ketones that may be expected during illness that would cost the nhs money to investigate where blood monitors don't pick up in them. In very lucky my GP will prescribe me anything I...

Thanks guys I'm feeling alot better than I was but rough still. At dinner time still had very low potassium levels which didnt help matters. I never gave Dka a though until doc mentioned it and only checked so when I got to docs I could say it wasn't. Couldn't believe the 6.9 and rechecked it...

I know this has been discussed before but I just wanted to remind people that Dka doesn't have to be with very high sugers. I've been ill all week with a stomachs bug and feel pretty lousy. my sugers had been between 10-12 which i didnt think was to bad with how ill i felt. Friday I woke up...
