Just say NO to Ketons

The dreaded Ketons appeard in my DD. She had a miserable cold and then BOOM Ketons. Every other day the nurse from school called "your daughter is in here magic number of 385 with moderate Ketons". Ok I leave work to pick her up. We get rid of the ketons, BG back to normal. So after a week of every other day dealing with Ketons she gets them AGAIN. Even set a Temporary basal rate of first 20% then all the way to 40% on her. Her numbers have been 200 and above with moderate ketons. Thats going to make a great A1C for our next visit isn't it.

FINALLY the Ketons are gone her BG is normal and under control and what do you think happens?? Should you ask??? A damn growth spurt. What does that result in LOWS.. 65, 37, 75. What in the world NOW..

If there is anything to living the life with Diabetes is it will KEEP you on your toes at all times. Once you think you have it under control, BAM it stirs things up. The low and High Fairy come to bite you in the ass again.
