Hi everyone,
After a bit of help today.
Bloods have been high today and yesterday and I've had ketones both days.
I put yesterday's down to having a bubble in my tubing (I'm on a pump) but now I'm starting to have my doubts.
At exactly the same time today my bloods went up and I had ketones again.
Nothing major, highest bg today was 14.7 and ketones were 0.5 (got told to go to delivery suite if over 0.6)
And the same happened at the same time yesterday but bloods went up to 18.4 again ketones were 0.5
I don't understand why!
I've eaten the same breakfast as I always eat, bolused the same as usual and set my background to the same amount as every day.
I've doubled my bolus and set my background to 200% (usually 180%)
Nothing else has changed, I've had insulin, I've not been vomiting or had upset stomach (so not starvation ketones) so why have they appeared?
Sorry for the long post I'm just stressed.
I've also changed my infusion set after it happened yesterday and today and it's still happening, which is why I don't think it's the set that's the problem.
Bloods are now 12.8 (usually between 4&7) but have got rid of ketones.
Could it mean labour is coming?!
Thanks in advance.
