how high are your readings? i personally would phone nhs direct for advice if your unsure.

I would definitely phone your nurse tomorrow morning to get a test kit for ketones and if you're still feeling really unwell tonight then like JConnor said, NHS Direct might be a good idea. Bear in mind though, that in my and other's experiences, NHS Direct aren't always amazingly helpful for diabetics, I think it depends on who you have on the other end of the phone and how much the actually know about diabetes rather than what they're reading from their info.

I don't know a lot about DKA but it usually happen when there's prolonged high sugar levels. How high are your readings? And how long have they been high? Is it an ongoing thing? If it is, I would also suggest you make an appointment with your clinic/specialist for a review of your treatment plan - maybe you can make some small adjustments and get yourself on track to lowering your levels.

Either way, I hope it improves soon and you're feeling better asap!
