My sons blood numbers are going down but keytones are going up any one got any ideas please
 
Please tell us more, is he unwell? What is his bg? Is he on pump?
 
BG still kind of high...and if he's feeling sick I would contact your diabetic nurse ASAP...generally speaking you should contact your diabetes team when BG over 11-13 and ketones present...hope he feels better soon
 
You should definitely contact your nurse and follow leaflet for sick day rules, i would give him a pen injection asap. Is he throwing up because he has ketones or because he has a bug? If a bug you should consider increase basal rate temporarily until ketones less than 0.4.if ketones were before throwing up contact hospital.hope he is better soon
