Hi guys,
Not really sure where to start as I’m just feeling really down today I had my 3 month diabetic check and my hba1c has gone from 42-57 so I decided to start a low carb diet on Saturday, today I went to see the nurse so she could check my urine and I now have 2 ketones in my urine, I have never had them before. She sent me into a panic as she was saying maybe I am type 1 but my blood sugar levels are 5.8 on waking and 6.5 after food. These readings are since I started the low carb diet. So now I have been told because of ketones in my urine it’s bad for me, but if I eat carbs they are bad for me. I can’t stop crying I just don’t know what I’m supposed to be doing! I just feel like I still don’t have an answer, I’m going to see the doctor next week so she can check my urine again, I feel fine, my blood sugar before I started the low carb diet was around 7-11 not managed great and I’m sure no where near what it would be if I was type 1, I’m on metformin and jardiance no insulin. can someone just say something to make me feel better before I eat a whole tub of ice cream.
