[QUOTE="KK123, post: 1924653, member: 451727"] Glad you made it Scott! Your post reminds me of a couple of others I have seen recently where posters who have not yet even been seen by a Dr, describe symptoms of high glucose levels and ketones. They mostly get advised to 'go low carb', 'ketones are good' which of course is good advice for a low carbing type 2 (although I know they can get DKA too) but possibly deadly for someone who may be going into DKA without realising it. I was rushed off to hospital straight from the Dr's surgery when she happened to say, oh, let me just check your ketones. I felt absolutely fine but at the hospital they said I was on the verge of DKA which can come on really fast. :) [/QUOTE]
