Question: if we're type 2 with insulin deficiency so using exogenous insulin... are we required to test for ketones regularly?
No one has mentioned it to me, .although I have been told a couple of times in hospital that they found ketones in my urine and I had to eat.
I've never tested for ketones myself personally and I'm not even sure you can get ketone strips to check? I will have to look out of them if I'm supposed to be doing that.
Any type 2's here with insulin deficiency that do test for ketones? Curious.
