[QUOTE="Fallenstar, post: 223716, member: 36659"] Firstly Riri, sorry to hear about that experience with the Hypo, I can fully understand and empathise with how you feel. I make no wonder you feel like testing so much. Because of the nighttime Hypo's I used to get ,I am such a poor sleeper now...it is amazing how insidious these things become and then we get ingrained reactions to them. You were right in saying we just expect them though with being Diabetic. That we just expect not to feel well ect, and except it as part of our lives. When actually their are genuine reasons and solutions out there. I really hope the pump works for you Hun and well done on the weight loss, Fantastic. That will certainly make a difference to your sensitivity but hopefully things will settle with the pump. Do let us know how you go on. NN: Well good news in one way I suppose in that there is an explanation as to why these things may have been happening to your control with the virus, and even low grade viruses that are barely detectable to us will have a knock on effect with our control. I don't know a huge amount about Ketones but do know that even if you have missed a meal or are a non Diabetic and on a diet you will produce some Ketones, Obviously you had a high number there and should have been looked at by a Medic. An infection can cause Ketones which you had, and you are now feeling better so that could explain that. Also you were nauseous and not eating maybe, which would also give you them. Glad that has settled down for you. I got fobbed off at least 3 times by my Endo and GP about the Lantus even when they knew I was struggling and I said I didn't think it was right for me. It took my DSN's who to me are the best for care, well mine are , to listen and sort me out. If things do not settle for you and you feel it might be this then push for it. It is your body, your Diabetes and you are the one who has to live with it. The change in insulins have made an unbelievable difference to me and my control...Wait and see how you go on though at least until this virus leaves your body, which can take a bit of time. Take care, hope you feel better soon [/QUOTE]
