Hi,
I have been diabetic for 4 years and the past year have had a lot of stress from work - l developed a severe rash all over my body (even neck and face), later discovered l had high ketones, stopped exercising due to rash. My ketones keep going high though and l have become insulin resistant and my blood sugar just keeps going high and l have to take so much insulin to get it down. Whenever l exercise to try to become less insulin resistant my ketones go up and my rash gets worse again. I do low carb which l think may be a problem but would rather not change. But the past 3 years l low carbed with no problems at all and really good control, however l didnt have the stress then.
Any advice would be great, l have had the worst coulple of months of my life and dont know what to do.
Thanks
Jo
