So, I am nauseous and I can taste and smell that weird sweet fruity flavour in my breath.
I know I have ketones. I don't have tests at home, but I recognize it.
First, I have been diagnosed with Diabetes type 1 as well as EDNOS w/ bulimic and anorexic tendencies.
The past few days I have not been eating enough, and I have been working out quite a lot. My blood sugar levels have been okay until yesterday. Yesterday night I had a bad binge. My blood glucose ended op at 30 mmol/l. I didn't really inject insulin because I was afraid of weight gain (I have struggled with diabulimia and this was a bit of a relapse).
At four I woke up feeling really awful. I was at 22 mmol/l. I injected quite a bit of insulin, and woke up a while later with 16 mmol/l. I felt really bad about my binge, so I couldn't bring myself to really eat a meal. Instead I had some blueberries and two hours later my blood sugar was at 2.7 mmol/l. So I had some dextro energy tablets and ended up at 5.0 mmol/l. It should be okay now, but I still feel nauseous and I can still taste it in my breathe. I feel really ill. But my blood sugar levels are not high any more... Do I have anything to worry about? Are the ketones gone? I'm not sure. I can't really bring myself to eat right now. Do I really have to? Or can I wait until my blood sugar drops again? Will I gain weight from my binge yesterday?
Things that might be important:
1. I have been very stressed lately so my stress hormones are high.
2. I have been on a high carb low fat/protein vegan diet for about two weeks, mostly fruits and seeds, not much starch. My carb and calorie intake were higher because of it, but I didn't need more insulin to manage my blood glucose at all. If anything I just needed even more carbs.
3. I have lost about seven pounds in the past week or two weeks or so. I'm not sure how. I have not been eating much in the past few days (except for the binge) but I was eating fine (many fruits, vegetables, seeds, sugars and some fats, starch and protein) so if anything I should have been gaining weight.
What should I do? Is there anything I need to worry about right now? Should I tell someone? Will the ketones go away? Should I test them somehow? Should I go home for now (no one is home and I am at school right now)? Do I really need to eat?
Thank you. <3
