Hi, Be careful fasting if you are taking Jardiance duo as this can also raise your ketones and send you into DKA. Kind Regards Duncan

Hi Dudette, Sorry to hear about what happened it gives you a real shock...the same thing happened to me about 18 months ago ...was put on Jardiance Duo and was ok just on that then a combination of an infection and going low carb (I didn't know about ketones and their relationship to diabetes)...

I've had similar to yourself and mine came straight after being put on statins and the booster vaccine. Its taken nearly two weeks for them to begin to get back to where they were but they are still high for me.

Hi Everyone, No worries I'm really interested in the information its really helping me. My consultant now thinks I'm type 2 following the cpep results but thinks I should take another test in a few weeks. I'm starting to feel more comfortable now in part due to the test and in part due to...

Hi Ert, Thanks for coming back to me. what you are saying makes perfect sense and thats why I requested the Cpep test as I couldn't understand the logic f what I was being told. Currently I'm on 14 units of Lantus per day and an A1C of 5.8. The consultant also had me on Novo Rapid but with a low...

Hi Everyone, After being diagnosed for the past 14 years as type 2, I had a lengthy spell in hospital with DKA brought on by sepsis. The endocrinologist treating me at the hospital felt I was more type 1 than type 2 based on how my body was responding to treatment. He has...

Hi KK13, I should have said that with my ketones being raised not feeling I wanted to see if by just taking a little insulin without the food if this would reduce the ketone levels without the need for food as well . It seemed to work as they fell from 0.9 - 0.4. Alternatively, If I eat carbs...

Hi Jaylee, I was on insulin about 5 years ( In Spain)ago but it was only Lantus once per day ...then the consultant put me on Victoza and stopped the Lantus. I'm now in Singapore and the consultant put me on Jardiance Duo along with the Victoza ...my numbers were great as was my weight but I...

Hi KK13, Part of the problem is that after 14 years of being type 2 they are not sure and they think I am 'more' type 1 than 2. I'm on around 80g of carb per day and to be honest I feel like its just eating a healthy low diet rather which happens to be low carb rather than going keto. I feel...

Hi Daibell, thanks for you response, I had homemade chicken curry (no rice or bread) followed by rhubarb and greek yoghurt, I estimated it to be around 25g of carb. I have a friend who is a nutritionist and she has tracked what I am eating for a few days and its around 80 g of carb per day and...

Hi Everyone, Im still struggling to know what to do with my ketones. My ketones this morning were 0.9 and my bloods were 6.8. I didn't have anything to eat but took 3 units of novo rapid as a correction dose ...2 hours later my ketones were 0.4. I took 7 units of Lantus at 11.00 am (50% of my...

Hi Goonergal, Thank you ever so much for the information, I think i'm generally ok with my ketones being slightly raised ...its the rate that they can climb and the levels that they climb to that scares me ...that and not fully understanding the triggers. I guess I'm like so...

Hi Anje77, Yeah I think looking at what happened to me suggests that for me the SGLT2's are not for me unfortunately (the result i was getting were incredible. It suggests that I might be leaning toward T1 hopefully the C pep test will give us a better steer. Thanks for coming back to me. Kind...

Hi Ellie, that is the bit i'm not sure about, as a diabetic at what point to does it move from nutritional ketosis to diabetic Ketoacidosis. I feel really well in myself on the low carb its just the tipping point that concerns me. Thanks for your help. Kind Regards Duncan

Hi Everyone, Having been diagnosed 14 years ago with Type 2, I had until fairly recently, a pretty good control of it. My diabetic consultant put me on Jardiance Duo and I reduced my carbs, not a crazy amount but to about 80 g per day. To cut a long story short I ended up...

Hi, I was diagnosed as type 2 for 14 years and was reasonably well controlled. I started a low carb diet (nothing extreme) around a year ago ...6 months ago my diabetic consultant put me on Jaridance duo ...the result was I ended up with severe yeast infections and DKA and was in hospital for...

Its a tricky one, I had really good blood sugar control when I was on a low carb diet 50g-75g per day and unbeknown to me ketones shot up which turned into DKA and I ended up in hospital. This was recent for me after being 14 years of being diagnosed as type 2 ...Im still trying to come to...

Hi Everyone, thanks for the replies...my sugar levels are running at about average of 5.7 during the night about 7.0 during the morning 6.2 during the afternoon and 7.00 in the evening...I rarely go lower than 5.0 and most of the times after a meal I am around 8 or 9 ... so i think my blood...

Hi everyone, Ive been type 2 now for some 14 years and managed it pretty well. After a recent spell in hospital from an infection which turned into Ketoacidosis I have tried to go low carb I find this quite straightforward and my sugars have been great and seemed really well controlled AC1 of...

Thanks David, I will give them a try on Monday....Im currently waiting for a reply from Bupa Global ....they are the only ones so far who have said that they may be able to do something. Will let you know how I get on.
