[QUOTE="mattrix, post: 2253415, member: 512253"] [URL='https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/members/mike-work.487115/']mike@work,[COLOR=#660033] it just seems that I have talked myself into a corner.[/COLOR][/URL] Here is my experience, Went to bed with PG=5.2 mmol/L no basal insulin Discarded my first morning urine. At Urine 2 [INDENT]Ketones: just under 4mmol/L of urine Glucose: just under 28mmol/L of urine PlasmaGlucose: 7.8 mmol/L plasma. My Dawn Phenomenon has not let me down!!! Took rapid acting correction insulin it is about 12 hours since my last insulin.[/INDENT] At Urine 3 [INDENT]Ketones negative Glucose <14 mmol/L of urine PlasmaGlucose 5.3 mmol/L of plasma [/INDENT] I won't see ketones again today. I haven't eaten anything yet. Had I taken basal last night, I would expect no more than trace ketones in the morning. Hence my question, how can you maintain ketosis and be taking insulin. PPS Even if I had let this go on for longer between insulins my ketones don't get much larger than this. They seem to level off at, some thing less than 6mmol/L urine. Not enough to push blood PH too low, but enough to cause other things to go wrong. PS I have never been able to identify a 'peak' due to protein. I'm certainly converting protein to sugar but it seems to be gradual over a longer time period. [/QUOTE]
