[QUOTE="Krystyna23040, post: 1887786, member: 374421"] I think I am in this situation. When admitted to hospital I had a HB1aC of 125 and was put straight on insulin (Novarapid and Lantus). I had high ketones and ultra high blood sugars and apparently was hours away from a fatal coma. Funnily enough I didn't feel ill - just a bit tired. Whereas I am recovering from.a 24 hour virus at the moment and yesterday I felt as though I was truly dying. The low carb got me off the insulin but I can't really go above 20g carbs if I want to maintain good blood sugar control without injecting insulin. My hope over time is that my pancreas will repair a little and start producing more insulin - I am not expecting a full repair after damaging it so much. I had been wondering whether to pay to get my insulin and IR tested but suspect that I will be in the same position as you are - as it will be difficult to decide what the results mean because of my keto diet.
