Message: <blockquote data-quote="claridge" data-source="post: 93884" data-attributes="member: 15821">Hi,At the moment l feel l need to find out more still about Ketones. Just last night l realised l have missed replacing my insulin cartridge by a week- oops! Replaced it and took my usual 5 units- my blood sugar was just under 7 and this morning was 3.9! I think my insulin had pretty much stopped working... so now going to reduce my Insulin even more and maybe l can get away with not taking any for a bit. Is there anything l should be worried about whilst doing this? My ketone level when tested the other day was 1.0 but Blood sugars always between 5 and 7 generally but l think that was with my off insulin so today its hovering around the 4 mark... snacking on lots of nuts as dont want it to go down too low but l will not have sugar/carbs though and overcompensate! ha :0)xx</blockquote>
