hey guys me again.. I need some advie on ketones
Ihavent been feeling great the last 3-4 days (nothing to do with ketones) i have been checking bloods and they've been high but not astronomically worrying i have done a few ketone test as well (on a blood meter) and theyve all come back fine (0.2-0.6) so i checked blood and ketones this morning and they have both shot right up and ketones are now at 2.9 ive taken my usual novomix 30 and a novorapid correction but should i be thinking about hospital if that doesnt bring it down?
Thanks guys

If your bloods are high and you ketones are high, I would definitely contact the hospital team.

@novowolf, so sorry to hear that your feeling unwell, your best bet is to contact your diabetes care team and they will advise you further, just give them a ring now.
 
hey guys thanks for the excellent advice.. I phoned up and they basically said as long as it comes down and stays down ill be fine.. last check was blood=17.4 ketones=0.2 so another correction and ive successfully avoided a hospital trip
Novowolf out!
