[QUOTE="TheSparkyPony, post: 157122, member: 24740"] Right bear with me whilst I reply! Celtic.Piskie - thankyou for clearing that up for me. Was wondering as reading through my discharge form, I was admitted with a urinalysis of Ketones +++ (obv), protein and Leucocytes (sp?!) which I know is an indicator of a UTI. Janabelle - Interesting link. I do wonder though whether it would apply to me as I've been on Levemir for a good few years now, although the dosages have increased dramatically over the past few months, from only 30u at night to a whopping 74u at night and 20u in the morning. Jopar - I did try to speak to my consultant, but unfortunately got rather upset as I feel after 11 years with T1, my confidence is shattered and the frequent DKA-ing is not helping. I'm 18, nearly 19 and looking to go to uni next year which is impossible under these circumstances! He simply gave me the number for the diab nurse (again!) and reiterated that the only way I could have DKA-ed was no insulin. I wonder what his intentions are by relaying this over and over, especially seeing as the nurses were administerating/observing ALL my injections :roll: Nevermind! Thanks guys for all your input, it's reassuring! :P xxx [/QUOTE]
