A bit surprised that BG of 29 and ++++ Ketones aren’t being treated with a little more urgency than ‘possibly T2D’
my understanding was that ketones weren’t common in T2.
are you losing weight?
if you begin to experience abdominal pain, vomiting or get a ‘pear drop’ smell on your breath I would suggest going to A&E and getting checked by a diabetes specialist for possible T1. Ketoacidosis can turn nasty very quickly and you don’t want to collapse in a coma!

I’ve just posted in your other thread . I am glad the hospital are treating you as T1
With your BG levels so high atm , I am wondering why they are reducing your insulin, in my non medical opinion but only as an insulin user it’s not a good idea to reduce insulin till your BG levels come down more.
Is the consultant a diabetes Consultant at the hospital
I had a similar profile when I went to my GP originally and she had me in hospital the same day.
