Some of us seem able to tolerate high sugars without making many ketones. So if you had 21 and no ketones then you'd treat yourself at home with a bolus dose and try and work out what caused the spike. If you get ketoacidosis then you will feel very ill and need treatment at hospital to rehydrate you whilst your blood sugars normalise and because it is a dangerous state for your body to be in.I’m type 1 and was told 21 meant hospitalisation. Really hope you’re feeling ok.
Personally I 've gone to HI (over 32) and felt rough but normal ketones but when I'd had a nasty infection I went into full ketoacidosis which was horrible!
