I have also lost 6kg in weight in just under 7 days. Which is also a worry

I am on novorapid and legends insulin, on a basal-bolus regime. The doctors will happily give me insulin but Ketone test strips, they're very apprehensive. Sorry I should've been more specific. I inject 20u of novorapid about 4 hrs ago, which in the first 2, brought the BG levels down by 2...

Sorry I should've emphasised, Ketone sticks are expensive and the doctors will not prescribe any more. In terms of weight, I've lost 6 kg this week alone, I'm very active and eat healthy. Thank you so much for the help.

Big hello to you and welcome to the world of diabetes.. hey the disease might be bad but we (the people) aren't.

Thanks guys. I'm using glucomen lx plus. Right time to start up the insulin again, I half knew it would be a stupid thing to do to stop. Unfortunately my consultant endocrinologist refuses to see or speak to me unless it is an appointment set out for 6 months. I'm due to go on a DAFNE course...

BG levels are at 17.4 and ketones are at 1.3 at the moment. I understand DKA can set in but I cannot see how the BG levels are reducing if the pancreas is damaged? Thanks for replying.

Hi, I've been a diagnosed diabetic T1 for 3 years but estimated to have had it since I was 13. Although I know I've put my life in danger by doing this... I have attempted to go without insulin and have been without it for 1 whole week. BG has fluctuated between 6 and 42.3 mmol/l. I am not...
