[QUOTE="jopar, post: 224326, member: 11712"] Your levels were of concern if your ketones are 0.1 this means on DKA you just showing signs of and at risk of sort of thing, Drink plenty of fluid to stop yourself from becoming dehydrated and help flush out any ketones.. Your regieme does make things very difficult if you'll using pre-mixed insulin.. How long are you going to be on the steriods? If your BG's are so high upper your insulin would help to lower them, but you will have to be extremely carefull and keep checking your BG regularly to ensure they don't lower them too much and send you hypo... So good supply of your hypo treatments needed.. Another alternitive is to cut down on your carb intake with your meals, cutting the carbs out completely can irrate DKA at an early stage.. See if this help to level off your BG a bit.. If you haven't got any ketones test stick's then get some tomorrow from the chemist cost under a £5 for 50, so that you can keep an eye on whether you are producing any if you are how many,, Then first thing monday morning ring your gp and diabetic clinic for futher advise.. And I know you got get out of A&E, but if you do vomit or feel worse or even just worried then dial the 999 number... And don't worry about calling them out if you feel that you need to.. Last night was last night, tonight tomorrow is a differnt day.. And I would seriously think about asking your clinic to put you on the basa/bolus regime (carb counting) not only is it a more flexible regime but when it comes to taking things like steriods and/or sick days it don't half make tackling them a lot easier..
