They teach lots of things and to understand the sick day rules you need to understand lots of other components. If you have a blood sugar of over 13 and feel unwell you really must test your ketones using a ketone blood meter. What you do next depends on the level of ketones and your blood sugar levels. It’s CRITICAL that you drink 100mils non sugar fluids hourly. If you don’t have a ketone meter I’d contact the hospital diabetes centre and ask for advice. If you are T1 insist on being treated at a specialist centre - I’ve gone 46 years in GP practice and now deeply regret it. I’ve learnt more this week than I’ve been taught before. Ketones and high blood sugar, at high levels might require urgent help</p></blockquote><p></p>
