So I have to admit I do not have the best control of my diabetes (my sugars rarely under 10) however today soon after eating (I believe the blood sugar spikes then) I tested my ketones and they were 2.2 which was horrifying if I’m being honest.
I’m sorry if this is a stupid question
 
If your running that high 18.2 plus then yep I would expect possiblity of Ketones and the taste of acetone in your mouth,

Horrible isn't it?

Only thing really to suggest is to try and get your sugars under control because the long term issues of running high all the time is not good.

Hope things work out :D
 
Hi @sleazysnail and welcome to the forum. As @Knikki has said running high is the time is not good at all. I have lost the vision in my left eye and have stage 4 CKD because of not taking care of myself when younger and consistently running high. Take a tip from an old timer.....
Are you under a diabetic consultant OR DSN. I really think you need to be seeing them to try and sort some type of corrective regime for yourself (before problems start to arise)
