52 is high but not horribly high - sounds more like Type II - what you do not say is what the blood glucose levels were when you tested? Clear urine indicates that you are well hydrated so do not be mislead by that.

it is nothing to panic about - many of us occasionally get keytones but normally only for me when the readings have been quite high - you need to note the level of BS as that is the most important thing and the only reference point to know what is going on - take your level again there can be lots of reasons
