Advice please

If you're worried you might be in DKA get yourself to a+e. A small infection you might not even notice could send you over the edge. Those blood sugars need sorting anyhow and quickly.

Did they give you a ketone monitor with your blood monitor?
If not what is your sugar level right now?

Ok. Call 111 and explain how you feel and what is happening.
Drink a large glass of water if you can as it will help slightly with sugars.

Hi @Danid211,

Yes, call 111 - if you need medical attention, they'll arrange it for you. Your sugars are too high, and you shouldn't be fainting. I'm pleased you're clearly aware of what DKA is, and are taking it seriously - here is a link to some information about DKA, which includes a list of symptoms:

Does your breath smell fruity (like pear drop sweets or nail varnish)? - if so, this could indicate ketones, and you would need medical attention. Drink lots of water in the mean time.

Also, do you have a large (24 hour) supermarket near you? Some of the larger ones have pharmacies, and you may be able to buy a ketone monitor and testing strips; or a least some Ketostix (urine sticks to test for ketones) - which may help to put you at ease when you're feeling like this.

@Danid211 How are you today?

Can you ask gp for a referral to consultant? But good that you are being seen.
