Never fun. I hope things are going well & that the ketones have come down. Sickness with a T1 is so stressful.
I LOATH high ketones and normal/low BGs, My dd feels ketones above 1.0. It has been a long time since we have had ketones above 2.5, this is when I defer to the endo team.
The only time we have ridiculously high ketones is during basal testing times, with normal bgs. I can't stand it. I don't normally check ketones when she has a fever though, unless the high bg is accompanied with it for an extended period of time.
Fever here, high blood sugars - but no keytones. Running 200 - 300s all day yesterday even with 120% basal. Going to keep my son home from school one more day so the nurse doesn't freak out about these blood sugars. PRobably will up the basal rate even more today.
