No i don’t check for ketones. My dr has never said anything about it. Of
course when i gave blood at the office a few months back, she said i had
ketones. She is my family dr. and she has finally referred me to an
endocrinologist. I have an appointment with him 5/25, so hopefully he will
help me better. Thanks for the concern.
Love
Loretta

Loretta,
Do you check for ketones? We were talking about this on another site and I
saw later Gail posted it here.

Gail,
I thought this was on the insulinpumpusers site. Put it there for Joan’s
knowledge.

Gail,
NOW is the time to test for ketones!!! I believe the instructions are to
drink lots of water and test, test, test to watch it come down with coverage
boluses or injections. Anyone else with some input on ridding ketones? Nip
this in the bud before an ER visit is necessary!

Gail,
How long does it take for you to drop down into exceptable range again? I
think I would be so frightened if I was that high.
