[QUOTE="GrantGam, post: 1469232, member: 295621"] Your elevated ketones may be the result of a lack of insulin. I'd try and address why your morning BG was 14.4mmol/l and see if your basal insulin dose needs adjusting. Basal rate testing is difficult, awkward and time consuming - although it is essential in fine tuning your doses: [URL]https://mysugr.com/basal-rate-testing/[/URL] The other alternative is to try and get your hands on a Freestyle Libre sensor so you can have graphical representation of your BG; this is especially handy for overnight BG's. You may be able to get on free of charge from your Clinic. Ketones can also be produced in the absence of food (specifically carbs) or during periods of fasting, such as first thing in the morning. But given that your BG was quite high, I would imagine that your insulin requirements aren't quite met. [/QUOTE]
