How do you know when you are in Ketosis?

@ellagy - Forgive me if I missed somewhere, but what, if any medication are you taking for your diabetes at the moment? Your profile page doesn't give any clues.

4x500 Metformin
2 x Byetta
1 x Glimiperide

Thanks. It could be useful to put a little bit more info on your profile, perhaps.

Have your bloods always run as high as they are at the moment, or is this a fairly recent thing?

Weeel, as I use Byetta I haven't needed to test. Only been testing since I joined this forum. My last test in March was 10.5.

Don't forget your Lantus, it's pretty important

EDIT! I must apologise... For some reason I had in my head that you were taking 18u Lantus once daily, but that was obviously a different thread. Ignore me, I'm incompetent and thick

Are you also feeling sick and ill too? If so (and I don't want to scare you as it doesn't really appear very likely from what you've posted so far) then go to our main diabetes.co.uk site, and check for the signs of diabetic ketoacidosis here: http://www.diabetes.co.uk/diabetes-complications/diabetic-ketoacidosis.html; if in the unlikely event that they do apply then get yourself to A&E asap.
