[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2459278, member: 365308"] Hello and I am sorry to hear your girl is unwell. The symptoms and the test show she's lost insulin function. You could ask for a C-peptide test (level of insulin) and GaaD (antibodies produced in the autoimiinue reaction) to confirm. Ketones are a bit of a red herring. I rarely have ketoacidosis even with very high sugars. Taking insulin should make her feel better and that will be the proof of the diagnosis I suspect. Take this one day at a time. You will be sad and worried for her but when she feels better she will likely just want to get on with her life. She is lucky to have parents to help her with that and to make sure she gets the best tech that is now available. Come and ask here again when you've got your head around this. [/QUOTE]
