I am eating virtually no carbs and despite adjusting have continual high bg. Latest 18.7. I have a lot of pain in my back could this be the cause?

Sounds like you're sickening for something. Don't forget to test for ketones.

I hope you're going to be okay mags2101. Sad It sounds like illness to me too; what are your ketone levels? Also, were they tested for by urine test or blood test?

Best wishes.

I always test by blood, no sign of ketones but still high! Haven't had single figures for 3 weeks

It sounds like your BI need to increase. Are you able to post again and share your diary for the last week or so? It will help us to help you.

Thanks,
Warwick.
