It was my DN who said that to me. I will test again for keytones and if they have risen I will phone my DN. I get told one thing and then the other, so most times I don't know if I'm coming or going. But I keep smiling.. :D

I have always had a small amount 0.1/0.3. I am ill atm ( being sick twice through the night) so I was told being ill can produce some keytones. I tested before and was 0.6 so it has risen but not sure if this ok. I am in bed as I still feel sick and a mild headache. :(

Hi. I was wondering what level of keytones is dangerous or not. Thank you. :thumbup:

Thank you for the reply. I never thought of an omelette, mmmm. Will do that for my next carb free lunch..Cheers. :thumbup:

Your best eating nothing during a fasting test and just drink water, try not to exercise too as this can affect the bg results and if you can test your bg hourly or two hourly, ideally if your basal insulin is correct it shouldn't fluctuate much by 1.7mmol, if it does then a small increase or...

Hi. Thank you for your reply. I inject twice daily with Levemir. The doses have been put up and down but then my bg goes up too or to low. With the Apidra my ratio is 1.10 for evening meals and 1.20 for the rest. I am getting an insulin pen with 0.5 so I think that would help me with the 1.20...

I have to repeat this another 2 times before I go back. I did think the slow release may be too high. I know it takes a long time to get things right, but I am up and down like a yoyo. Ive had 1 sever hypo, night hypos and a few hypos during the week. I've had my insulin doses dropped but then...

I feel for you. I also have night hypos and they are so scary. I had a sever hypo the other week and I too had had 3 white wine and soda. I can't remember anything after going to the bar for the 2nd drink. Nobody realized I was having a hypo. I was having a night away and going to a concert. I...

I was asked by my diabetic nurse and dietitian to do a carb free meal to see what happens as my diabetes is very uncontrolled. They said the glucose in my blood should stay the same. When I tested my bloods at lunch time it was 12.4 then when I tested at dinner time it had dropped to 4.8. Any...

I am on insulin apidra and levemir. I just don't know why I didn't check. Probably because I was so excited. My husband regrets not taking my bloods as he just panicked. Definitely a lesson learnt. Thanks for the reply. It helps to chat with people who knows what I'm going through.

I was wondering if I collapsed due to a hypo or not. I was having a day/night away as I was going to a concert. I don't usually drink but I did have 3 dry white wines and soda. I know all about eating etc for when my glucose levels drop. I was ok until I got back to the hotel to pick up the...
