As you said you have been exercising, did you see if lactic acid produces the same effects on blood gas? You maybe burning away fat as energy hence the higher keytones. Again with low blood sugur they are perfectly fine and from understanding meaning your bodies burning the fat and not storing it.Thanks for your input, @Key_master_.
Yes, initially I wasn't concerned either -- especially as my GP was talking ketoacidosis -- which given a blood sugar level of 4.6 at the time of the urine test wasn't really a concern in my mind.
But then I was getting increasingly concerned, especially after the blood gas test, which showed a ph-level of 7.2 and low sodium bicarbonate levels. So, I googled this a bit and found that acidic blood levels can lead to muscle degeneration and bone loss in the long run -- so probably not a good thing.
Thank you diabeticliberty did you have a good day yesterday
Hi @Diabeticliberty,
Yes, I was really happy to see my fasting blood sugars in the fours today, albeit high fours.
About three to four weeks ago, I had my check-up and the GP noticed high ketones in the urine. He sent me to the hospital for a blood gas analysis -- the result showed that my blood was slightly acidic.
I suspect, this was because too much exercise, not enough food and especially not enough protein for the previous one to two months. Anyway, my GP suggested to change my diet to reduce my ketones.
So, I've been trying to up my protein lately and reduce my exercise -- unfortunately at the costs of somewhat higher blood sugar levels (initially 1 mmol, now about 1/2 mmol) that didn't come down for many, many hours. So, quite frustrating since I seem to obsess easily. Happier now though after my blood sugars have settled a bit and ketones are a bit lower.
Diabeticliberty -- I am glad to hear about your grand day yesterday. What time did you get home? I am sure the headache will pass, but your memory of a fun birthday will remain.
Hope things settle for you soon20.1 I feel dreadful. Was at 7.2 at 2100 hours. Shot up to 13.2 by midnight so had a few units to sort that. Isn’t helping I’m now being made into a case conference and still waiting after over two months to switch insulin by my diabetes nurse just to change from novorapid to actrapid, both gp and dsn have been totally unsupported of my low carb journey and I’m thriving on it. I’m so stressed by the way I’ve been treated night times just go bonkers..
That will be me in the morning off to a party tonightil have me paracetamol lined up by me bed an a list for the hubby with my breakfast requirementsglad you had a great day enjoy rest of weekend mr d
It’s getting beyond a joke now. 2 whole months I’ve needed this insulin for, had to wait til end of sept just to sit down with my dsn. busting my balls getting this new lifestyle change in place and results are lovely compared to my pre low carb. Miss the chaser jab for the protein and I may as well of ate a chippy or Chinese..
My morning BG was 7.1. I'm happy with this because it is down from yesterday. I took it a bit easier yesterday, and made sure to drink more water through the day, something I sort of forget to do sometimes. I think it helped to get a better number today. Cheers.
Cheers for all the love and support this morning, cranked that nasty 20.2 down to a 6.3 before swimming, 2 dextros and 1275m later I feel brand new and sugars now in a nice post exercise range of 7.1
Time for my treat of the week a piece of quiche and green salad in our favourite coffee shop.
Have a lovely weekend folks
Thanks mr d il try not stray from the pathHey, hey hey Lady K, I hope you have a spiffing time at your party. Please stay on the narrow path and don't do as I do. Do as I say. Please drink Tizer. Wine and whisky just make you crash and burn. My old mammy used to always tell me if wine, women and song are getting too much then you'd better give up singing. I hope you have a wonderful evening
