Hi guys, I've not been on for a while as i've been quite ill and just to let you know that i haven't fallen off the face of the planet. I've had something that the experts can't seem to put their finger on but they are saying that it's a severe viral infection. The outcome is that my levels are through the roof, over the past 8 weeks i haven't had a reading below 13 and as you are probably aware i don't feel too good even though my insulin has been increased constantly throughout. I got some Ketostix yesterday and when i tested it came up as a high reading, some of my work colleagues say that it's like talking to someone who is "slow" as it takes me some time to answer simple questions and i have constant blurred vision, stomach ache and constant severe headache

As anyone else had a similar thing and if so what did they do to counteract it. I'd appreciate any help or advice from you. Thanks in anticipation.

hya hazey,
i cant advise you really but wanted to say get well soon, does the dr know you have ketones? as you really dont want to get ketoacidosis, if not i would phone them and explain
 
Agree with Totsy,
You need to contact them ASAP and ask how to treat the ketones. Hopefully they will give you a procedure to follow giving so much insulin for each + of ketones, and if that doesn't work tell you to contact them again.
Don't ignore it.
