[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 527023, member: 21149"] Hi and welcome. I agree with Andy's points. Being overweight is a pointer towards being T2 and when neglected there can be some ketones. It is possible to be overweight and be T1 when ketones are more likely due to lack of insulin. Yes, Metformin SR (Slow Release) for most people is without side effects. If you have problems with the standard type do ask the GP for the SR version. So, reduce the carbs, take the Metformin and get hold of a glucose meter; this is essential. If the blood sugar doesn't reduce then T1 becomes more likely and will need more serious medication. If you feel ill and the ketones get worse then have plenty of water and if necessary go to A&E. If worried you can always buy some Ketostix to check ketones. Hopefully with reduced carbs and meds your blood sugar will move towards normal. Keep in touch with the GP. There are two tests for T1.
