I’ve been thinking of you and your situation.
Gav it would be best to push to get it checked. Quote the NHS guidelines to them. I think they are in one of my posts highlighted.
I’m surprised at the number of tests I’m having. They totally understand DKA and my blood gases seem to confirm there is no acidosis. However they can’t seem to get their heads round low carb WOE. I need carbs etc and the fact I have ketones means I’m starving myself

. I asked the doctor if he thought my diet, which I reeled out was either starvation or bad. He was shocked and said no it was excellent but I must crave carbs. I said no. They are an addiction and not necessary. He backed down and changed the subject.
I have ketones because I have barely eaten yesterday. They went down a lot probably because I had a sandwich which would knock me out of ketosis, yet put my BG very high. They were happy at the low ketones but of course this morning they are high again, but blood glucose lower.
