itchy skin can be a sign of high blood sugar - I certainly used to get it when my BG was high (Before diagnosis). Can be caused by neuropathy or just dry skin.

10g of carbs can cause a rise of between 2 and 3, which about fits with that meal taking you from 11 to 24 if it’s around 40g of carbs.

Many thanks harbottle

Useful information.

I know I shouldn't have but I bought corn on the cob and had half with butter as a starter, its so tasty, 11 g for half according to google. its always disappointing when nutritional food items are not blood glucose friendly. Have to figure what else I can eat for dinner now.
 
Well my ketones are normal and currently levels between 15 & 22 mmol. I have made appointment next week for HbA1C blood test and following week diabetic nurse, that was the earliest appointment I could get. Mean time hope to bring levels down further with exercise and food, I seem, to have mislaid my carb and cals book so looking everything up on line.
