[QUOTE="Antje77, post: 2273374, member: 372207"] In T1's the main problem with a keto diet (as you've been following) is that the diet means you have ketones, which makes you lose ketones as an indicator of big trouble. In your case, the ketones don't tell you anything, a ketone test doesn't differentiate between nutritional ketosis and ketones as a precursor of DKA. In T1's, a bg as high as yours + ketones is very alarming. Your situation is a bit different because you only have the high bg as an information source because of your diet. Whatever is going on, having a keto WOE plus bg's this high indicates something is wrong. Without further testing there is no way to tell if you're having something brewing which messes up your T2 or if you have been misdiagnosed and have had your honeymoon period covered by your diet. But whichever is the cause, with your bg that high and already avoiding carbs, I agree with [USER=345386]@DCUKMod[/USER] and I wouldn't wait out the weekend before getting medical advice and/or treatment. Wish you all the best, and please don't take chances! [/QUOTE]
