Stomach bug and ketones

[Marfmama]

Hey just wondering what level of ketones requires a call to medical team? Im on the pink (o.4? Just above trace) this bug is no where near as bad as my last one, i ended up in A&E last time cos my sugars kept rising, ketones and blacked out at some point. This time am drinking plenty of water and iv managed to bring sugars down from 15 to 12 with some insulin. Not eaten anything all day.

It's just what is taught on the DAFNE , if you've not been on DAFNE then ask your DSN to enrol you on the next available course.

It is very good and you should learn something from the course. the following is an on-line course which is similar to what is taught on DAFNE:
