[QUOTE="Energize, post: 2175714, member: 28960"] Hi [USER=41212]@bonkers82[/USER] As already mentioned, it really doesn't seem anything worrying. You've likely got ketones in your urine because your body is burning fat. Again, as already said, it's when you show ketones AND high blood glucose levels that there is a big problem. [USER=219467]@bulkbiker[/USER] has hit the nail on the head by saying your GP and Diabetes nurse, and A/E staff, need to do a bit of basic study. However, they do tend to go into 'panic' mode when ketones are present - because they lack information about the body and how it metabolises. Probably not the best article in the world but just had a quick look for you - [URL]https://www.womenshealthmag.com/health/a25133977/ketosis-vs-ketoacidosis/[/URL] Showing ketones in urine is very different from ketoacidosis and it's the latter the 'professionals' are thinking of :( Have a good night's sleep, without worrying :) [/QUOTE]
