Hi Jayleee , Novomix 30 , level 8 on the pen twice a day, ( is that a lot?) , I don't blame them for prescribing insulin, I'm sure my bgl was very high , but it does seem like overkill now , and in fact consultant on acidosis occasion intimated as much . ( my keto has dropped to 1.3 now at 7.15 pm and feel ok , it wasn't much higher than the 2.8 earlier today when I was in hospital , 4 .2 or so , but felt pretty rough when I left hospital with a keto of 2.1 which is probably why I panicked a bit earlier, (ketoacidosis isn't pleasant)
But yes it does seem if blood glucose levels low seems some keytones ok .
