[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2316448, member: 365308"] High sugars and ketones are a classic sign of your body handling a virus so i'd be cautious about taking anything until the viral symptoms are gone. keep checking bloods and drinking plenty though. A small number of people have an autoimmune reaction which causes insulin deficiency (type 1) after a viral illness. High blood sugars do make you feel lousy and when the blood vessels swell up you'll have fuzzy vision which should normally go back to normal. Metformin helps to stop your liver making some glucose but it isn't a treatment for insulin deficiency and can cause weight loss (either from upset tum and/or because it means less insulin is needed). Once your blood sugars stabilise you can work out a strategy for re gaining some muscle and fat (adding more frequent snacking and upping the carbs a little) but this will be impossible whilst your blood sugars are high or insulin is too low (the latter is rare).
