I’ve been battling with high sugars and ketones for a week now. So much so I feel like I’ve lost a lot of weight I’ve had diabetes for 14 years (14 years to the DAY actually!!) so I’m not a novice with dealing with sickness and high sugars etc but I’m coming to the end of my tether and I don’t know what to do. I’m not poorly enough with it to need admitting, I haven’t been sick. But I’m correcting with an insulin pen instead of pump, eating low carb, giving the correct insulin dose for any carbs I do eat. I managed to get them down to low teens before bed last night but I’ve woken up to them in high 20s this morning and I feel horrendous. I’m in the process of changing diabetes centres so when I rang my diabetic nurse for advice she said she can’t help me as I’m no longer under their care, rang my new centre and the nurses have no record of me because I haven’t seen the consultant yet, my appointment isn’t until the 11th of April!!! I’ve set a temporary basal rate at +20% overnight. I just don’t know what else to do. Any help appreciated please
