Ketones were 4 on Thursday and 2 yesterday The doctor suggested the urine infection might be the reason for the ketone level but I’m not as convinced it’s totally down to that

Good to know. I’ve bought low carb granary. I’m a little reluctant to go too low carb at this point because I have high levels of ketones in my urine already. I’m trying to get myself through the weekend till my Monday morning appointment with the nurse and all my tests. Can I just ask how...

Ok so An hour ago I was 10.4 Just tested now and it’s 9.2 So I feel like the breakfast was ok and I’m heading in the right direction. Although I really don’t like scrambled egg I may try boiled eggs and try a granary bread and see how tolorant I am

Yeah I feel abit blahh at the moment. I feel nauseas , is that a usual thing after eating ? Will test again in about 40 minutes

Thanks I will test again in 2 hours then. I have a raging headache too just above my left eye and had to take some paracetamol just now. I have a bag of frozen berries so know for future. I did mix it with about 200ml of whole milk but my daughter had half. I’m probably going to switch milk to...

Thank you so much Ok, I’ve just been to boots and got my blood glucose monitor. I’ve not eaten anything yet. I’ve only drank water My reading at 10.50am is 9 I’m about to have to scrambled egg with cheese and some fruit smoothie consisting of pineapple mango and kiwi (frozen fruit) I have no...

I will do and thank you everyone

I’ve just ordered one off boots and will collect in the morning. It’s an accu check nano ? My doctors are quite stingy but for £25 it’s worth the piece of mind. Bought extra test strips and lancets too as they were on offer.

No they didn’t give me a monitor. They just said to go to A&E if I feel unwell. I guessed it would have to be ordered anyway as most pharmacy don’t keep them in stock. My levels last night were 13.6 and ketone level 4. The GP was surprised A&E just let me go home.

They just told me to try not to worry. How quickly do the results come back after you have these tests ? I think I’m having a fasted test, one to check my averages over the last three months and something else. He said he didn’t want to prescribe tablets because if it’s type 1 they won’t work...

Ok so I’ve seen the nurse and had urine tested and finger prick glucose test My blood sugar was 13 Keytones at 2 Signs of infection in my urine so given macrobid for 7 days. Have to go back Monday for all those tests that they do for diabetes etc I guess this is the ball rolling

Yes my pee and breath smell sweet I’ve had blurry vision on a few occasions over the last 6 months, tiredness which I put down to maybe low B12 but the last few weeks I honestly thought the night sweats, peeing, thirst, flushing and uti and a bout of thrush was me starting menopause. We’ve been...

The link above helped a little. So I expect to undergo a series of tests now. Ok I can deal with that, you’ve all been here at this point, worrying, being in that space between diagnosis and what to do in the meantime. Being sent straight to A&E was very upsetting. It sent my BP soaring. Do...

Thanks, I’m in heavy duty meds already for my colitis. I’m on immune suppressants and biological infusions every 8 weeks. I guess this may get abit complicated

I’m in the doctors at 2pm today. Hopefully I get some answers. I’m alarmed at how sudden this has all occurred

Thank you, I’m in limbo at the moment. Do I have it, do I not have it. Is this all just a big mistake. I’m not sure what these levels mean

So this has been a whirlwind for me. I’m a38 year old female already suffering from Ulcerative colitis . The last few months have been very weird but the last 24 hours have been very worrying On and off for maybe 3/4 months have been having some symptoms of cystitis/UTI on and off. been...
