I think best thing is ring 111 as although yes your bds are high I personally would be very worried about keytones from what little I understand they are somthing you dont mess about with and need fairly urgent medical assistance with. It maybe im over reacting be just incade id call it can only help either by getting you the help you need or by putting your fears to bed . Good luck

With BG levels/keytone indicating too like these - it is wisest and best to speak to your
GP or your DSN [diabetes specialist nurse] ASAP let them know all of these factors .
If - out of hours contact free phone number 111 explain all factors to them and ask for their help in
this matter .
111 - is replacing the NHS help direct line ...

999 - is for emergencies 'only' now .

Hope this can help .

Please feel free to let us all know how things go/went .

Thank you for the advice and contact number they told me to go to my GP so I popped a urine sample in and it was ok.. Yes I am from the UK, where are you from?

Glad the 111 number was explained! Here in New Zealand, 111 is our emergency number, the equivalent of 999 in the UK!
