Sickness and ketones

Best bet is to contact his diabetes team and get them to talk you through it.

The DAFNE sickness rules are on the bottom left slide here: http://www.swbhit2.plus.com/Sandwel..._files/Sick-Day rules and type 1 diabetes.pdf (someone else might be alog with a better link soon..

TDD is total daily dose by the way (long acting and quick acting when looing at a normal day) so if I had 4 QA in the morning 4 with lunch and 4 with tea then 10 long acting at night my total daily dose would be 22 .

So if I had keytones of 1.5 I would have 2 to 3 QA units every 2 hours if I had keytones over 3.0 I would have 4 QA units every 2 hours. This would stop when glucose leves and keytones drop again.

As I said before though best bet is to contact you diabetes team and get them to talk you through it.

With ketones that high you should really ring the nurse and get their advice.
