Message: <blockquote data-quote="mrman" data-source="post: 456593" data-attributes="member: 40510">Also agree that ketoacidosis can occur even when sugar levels not too high.  I had blood tests done at surgery, no phonecall from them after 3 days.  I had to phone for my results as I was feeling alot worse by then, battled through receptionist to speak to a gp, my gp who ordered the tests was on hols.  My sugar level read 9,  high but not considered dangerously high to need to be contacted.  He then seen my ketones were extremely raised 5. Something ish.  Then told to go straight to a and e, remember this was 3 days later.  Current sugar level read high on on hospital meter as did ketones.Explanation I had was as I was producing a little insulin prior to my cells going caput,but, at the time doing alot of gym excercise allowed my sugar levels to be slightly raised,but, with the lack of insulin developed ketoacidosis.This is because excercise can lower sugar levels without insulin, but raises ketone levels due to a lack of it.Sent from the <a href="http://www.diabetes.co.uk/app/?utm_source=sig&utm_medium=txt&utm_campaign=appsig" target="_blank">Diabetes Forum App</a></blockquote>
