[QUOTE="searley, post: 2387631, member: 31377"] Being high from eating too much and being high from having insulin are 2 different things You won’t get ketones from being high from eating too much as your body does not burn any fat to create them… in fact if your body still produces a little insulin being high from too much food might force the production of a little more Keytones only come when insulin on board runs out.. so typically 5 hours after rapid 16 hours after long acting It’s not for us to tell you what to do.. All I can say is sit an consider if you had your insulin would you take it.. if you would then help is there if you want it either by calling 111 and seeking emergency insulin or even calling the Samaritans and talking about things. This is coming from someone who has considered similar actions in the past (only considered) but ultimately only you can can make that decision.. I’m sure plenty of thoughts and hugs being sent in your direction [/QUOTE]
