I have been to the diabetic clinic today and everything is fine with Hb1Ac at 5.5, but the nurse said I had ketones in my urine and I have to give a second sample for the doctor. I rigorously low carb and I had eaten very little today. My understanding was that in a type 2 who is low carbing, ketones in the urine just means you are burning fat rather than carbs and there is nothing to worry about? I am worried that if the seond sample shows ketones the doctor will try and force me on to medication that I do not want. My doctor is very mainstream and not impressed with my controlling diabetes with as lower carbs as possible and supplements. Can anyone please help me on this, am I risking ketoacidosis? (which I thought was only possible if you were injecting insulin).
