[QUOTE="jack412, post: 567867, member: 97664"] Nice, I know even one good day will lift me a bit. This may sound weird and it probably is but I think of my diabetes as a baby. It's a newborn baby that needs nurturing and looking after, I'm not in a battle with it. Everyone has their own thing, some cope better if they think they're in a war with it and it has to be beaten. whatever works is good. If you have had DKA it would be no wonder that even the thought of a ketone would send shivers, but just for future reference, I'm on a diet and not eating my full calorie needs, so I will have ketones because my body is burning it's self to live and I've got insulin as I'm T2. This is what us dieters do and we get into nutritional ketones/ketosis [URL='https://www.google.com.au/#q=nutritional+ketosis']https://www.google.com.au/#q=nutritional ketosis[/URL]. Having high BG from lack of insulin is different and are the ketones that will make you sick with DKA. There are a few T1's on LCHF here where dietary fat provide the source for ketones and have good BG with LCHF. It's also a smaller dose of bolus insulin and reduce hypo's they say. It was why I mentioned it. If you like, put up a topic on the insulin board. I have seen them give a lot of help to sort out insulin [/QUOTE]
