[QUOTE="Ambersilva, post: 492722, member: 43736"] dollydaydream2014 wrote [B]I've never tested for ketones ..don't even know how to...is that bad [/B] If your blood glucose reaches 14 you should also test your blood for ketones and inject insulin to bring the level down to a safe level. In the instructions that accompany the meter there will be recommendations on how to reduce ketones in the blood. Request a meter that tests blood for ketones from your GP or diabetic team. I have such a meter but rarely reach blood glucose levels in excess of 14 for prolonged periods of time. Some people use ketostix that test urine for ketones. [/QUOTE]
