[QUOTE="chocoholic, post: 627966, member: 2964"] Thank you for that,noble head. I wish I'd had access to that info in hospital. With readings so high and extra insulin just not bringing them down and ketones only on the next colour up from a trace, I had no clue what to do in hospital. One night I was at 23.4 and pleaded with a nurse to get me advice to bring them down but she just said the diabetes nurse doesn't work on a Friday night, you'll have to wait until Monday. When she asked me how much insulin I take I explained about basal/bolus insulin and explained I was on a 1/10 ratio for carbs and she just shrugged and said she didn't understand. Because my readings were so high my brain was so muddled,vision so blurred I couldn't even see straight to self medicate and felt so distressed. [/QUOTE]
