Thanks @Daibell I'll discuss with my nurse (appointment made today for the 29th, that's the earliest I can get in) She did give me the Keytone strips to test, which is all ok at the moment.

Thanks @Oldvatr I read these threads also, seems in had different effects for different people. At the moment, in the mornings my levels are at approx 8.0 - 8.4 first thing. This can rise to approx 12-14 before even having anything to eat. I don't feel unwell or anything, it's just rather...

Thanks Liam, much appreciated
