Ketones

[Claire2332]

So I am getting stressed out for the last 3 days I've been getting ketones then they've gone then they come back again. I am taking my insulin and a lot of it don't understand why they keep reading I have them

HI Claire - What level are your Ketones at?

 

[mrman]

8 ~ 15 would explain it. That is too high. Concentrate on reducing levels ketones will go. record results, before meals, two hours after, no snacks between unless treating a low. , test before bed, and in morning, aiming between 5~6. On going to bed your.last bolus injection 4 hours prior, no snacks unless to correct a low. That would be a good place to start.
