Jared - if your bg is 334 at breakfast you REALLY do need to sort yourself out, and fast. You're running high at breakfast if you're over 110.
Ketoacidosis is a really nasty condition which you simply cannot afford to be suffering from. The only way you can deal with it is to have well controlled diabetes. If you're got ketones, I jab in a load of insulin and start drinking pint after pint of water to flush the things out.
Sorry to sound so harsh but it seems to me like you need a real wake-up call. Diabetes is phenomenally serious condition and can kill you quicker than cancer or AIDS. If you're waking up regularly with bg over 150 then I have to personally guarantee you that you WILL be dead in less than a year. Get yourself to a doctor NOW. |
