[QUOTE="KK123, post: 2451512, member: 451727"] Hi there, you will get lots of good advice on here but I would say don't do anything drastically different right now because it can mask whatever 'investigations' they may embark upon following the data you provide them, you don't even know what type you are yet!. I'm surprised that they discovered you had a very high hb1ac, along with 'ketones' and told you to wait until Monday! Your numbers are still high and since you have already had ketones, have they given you any ketone strips to test again? I say this not to alarm you but for you to just keep an eye on those numbers and the ketones, when both are present it can very easily turn into something life threatening even if you're not feeling ill. I felt great on diagnosis and a random ketone check showed over 4 along with a high glucose level. They rushed me off to hospital and to cut a long story short, I was on the verge of DKA. I came out diagnosed as type 1 after proper tests rather than speculation. I know instinctively many of us want to go 'keto' immediately or to try and stop it in its tracks, but until you are properly diagnosed, don't ever assume it's type 2. [/QUOTE]
