chest infection, high blood and trace of ketones

[Smit]

Hi all

I'm 7 weeks pregnant, have a horrid chest infection which I've been on antibiotics since Tuesday for. My blood is sitting at 13, I've been correcting all day but its not coming down. I have a trace of ketones so have taken more insulin. I contacted the 24 hour maternity department at the hospital and they said they wouldn't see me and if worried i should goto a and e. Not to worried at the moment and thought I'd wait till after dinner and test again.

Just looking for a bit of advice. X

I can't offer any advice I'm afraid, but I do hope that your levels settle down and that you are feeling much better soon 🙂 Hopefully, some of the mums will be along to help out!

Thanks northerner, blood was 7.9 before tea. So coming down, lets hope the stay down. X

Hi Smit, glad your levels have come down, have the ketones gone away too? I know my hospital has a diabetic registrar on call, who you can get hold of at any time. If you are still worried it might be worth trying that.

Keep drinking and testing lots
