Good afternoon, I am Type 1 diabetics for year and Mdeio, yesterday I play analysis, and in my urine I get, ketones, value 5, negative range ... I should worry ... the night before the analysis I had to be correcting all night, because it didn't go down, it can be for that.Thanks a greeting
@almovaldes22 positive ketones with normal glucose are not a problem, it simply is that your body is using fat instead of glucose as the main source of energy (normal in fasting or in very low diets in hydrates).Only if you have high glucose for a long time or use pump and the catheter is clogged, the blood ketones must be seen.When there is a lack of insulin is when there is a risk of ketoacidosis and there it would be necessary to measure and put insulin until normalizing the glucose.Using slow bolis, if you don't forget any doses it is very difficult to have ketoacidosis.
