Various things ...
In Asturias for 15 years or more the machines that occur are from Abbott, regardless of whether or not to have an insulin pump (all my machines have been Abbott and I have never had a bomb).
ABBOTT machines warn that the machine can only look at blood glucose.The notice occurs when a value & GT is given; = 300 mg/dl.
The notice is just that, a warning, that question that you say it comes out on your machine (ketones ?It puts the same signal with a question, depending on whether it is day or night or there is little light you must turn off or keep the lights on.It is a decision of you to look or not to look at the ketone bodies, that interrogation does not mean anything else.
If there is a blood glucose value & GT; = 300 mg/dl you have to look at how it has been there because it is not the same to arrive due to a specific error (you spent eating, you confused yourself in the rapid insulin dose, youIt was the clamp and you ate a cake, a little of all of the above) to be in those values all the time.
For a specific value & GT; = 300 mg/dl it is not necessary to look at the ketone bodies and it is not necessary/U> Look if you have ketone bodies and if it is necessary retouchet dose of river insulin.
Today looking at any of the two things (glucose and ketones) in urine (glucosuria and ketonuria) is wasting time:
Glucose in urine is not any news for a diabetic, it is normal, we have the highest blood glucose values of the normal and therefore our kidneys are going to work on piecework to reduce them through the urine.Measuring our urine glucose levels is having information too late because you have high glucose values in urine then in blood you have tremendous values and act very late.
The ketone bodies something similar happens: having ketone bodies in urine is having information too late, if you have ketone bodies in blood urine you have a very large mess.
I have only looked ketones in two specific moments: one when I debuted, you are decompensated and look at you the subject (in my time there was nothing other than to look at them in urine) and the other has recently been with the change of insulinas, the first twoweeks I was with a bit high values, marking several times values of 300 mg/dl.
If you are excited to look at the ketone bodies ahead but I already tell you that today look at them in urine is to waste time (you get the information too late), to look at it today to look at them in blood (you need a machine that can look at ketones in blood andOf course you throw ketones in blood) that apart from not needing to want to urinate you will give you more information than a simple "positive" or "negative" and it will give you that information when it is useful (when the begins to appearBlood problem not after having passed through the kidneys and ending in the urine).
