Hi All,
My mum has been diagnosed with pre diabetes Hba1c at 47, it has been for a few months.
She was in hospital today and glucose test showed hers was at 12.5. The nurse then checked ketones which was at 1. (I found this out on her patient portable, as I care for her) she was drinking a lucozade at the time which probably showed such a high glucose level. We know she shouldn't have this kind of drink.
I had no idea what any of that meant, until I searched it up now I'm very worried. The nurses didn't check her levels again as she was discharged a couple hours after.
Is there anything she can do to try get the ketones down? I've read that drinking plenty of water and carbs help? Thank you
P.S I'm unsure if someone without a diabetes diagnosed can be affected by ketones or high glucose levels, very sorry if they can't. I have no one else to discuss and get help from.
