[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 2187266, member: 480869"] Kidney function is a separate test to ketones and a large part of the reason for the urine test. Ketones can be checked this way but if you are eating low carb is is normal to have an amount of ketones in the urine/blood/breath. This is a lower amount than in dka and would not come alongside high blood sugars. The ketone meter would help alert you if you are rising above your own normal levels and heading for dka. I’m not a type 1 but were I in your shoes I’d make sure I was well aware of symptoms of dka and what to do whilst waiting on the appointment and meters. the hormone changes in coming off the pill and quite frankly being in your 40’s has a lot of hormone changes starting up too that often negatively affect weight. I am a firm believer in going too low in calories for too long will slow your basal metabolic rate and cause weight gain in response too. [/QUOTE]
