sick day rules

Thanks soooo much for all the info on ketones every1, I'm feeling a whole lot better now and eating normally although I still seem to have a trace of ketones I'm not really worried about them now. I had no idea about most of this stuff, similar to yourself JWo I was diagnosed when I was 7 so didnt really know much about anythin, gosh I didnt even know how to change my insulin b4 dafne. I would always wait till my 6 month app at hosp n the dr there would change things and ratios I thought that was stuff I did back at school till I went on the dafne course. Didnt know how the drs were changing things I just knew when I went to hosp my insulin dosages would always change for some reason. Lookin back now I think how mad it was I could have been on a wrong ratio for 6/7 months at a time n didnt even realise as I had never been taught!!

I think the majority of folk feel the same as you, me being one of them. Its hard to think back on your diabetes treatment not knowing what we know now, the sad thing is there are still a lot of people out there just not knowing whats really going on.

What surprised me when doing my course was that the majority of people were already on an MDI regime but were just guessing what to take, madness.......
