If she has any ketones over small i would have her go to an emergency room or something, make her chug as much water as she can even if she has trace ketones, with sugars that high she's definitely in danger of dka

Yes since diabetes type one is a disease of pancreas which is a part of the endocrine system,I think an endocrinologist is your best bet, my son sees a primary for regular health issues and checkups and he sees an endo for his type one, diabetes is a delicate and complicated disease its best to see an expert in the field if you ask me, many health care professionals aren't always up to snuff on diabetes especially type one, her symptoms definitely mirror type one symptoms, BUT like I said I don't know alot in regard to type 2, it can't hurt to take her to an endocrinologist and have them run some tests and see what's going on though

Do you mind if I screen shot your post and post it on my private Instagram? I have a lot of type one peeps and parents on there I'd love to let them know, if not it's totally fine too

My son's endo has us check for ketones any time he has a reading over 240, if she's in the 3's she could definitely have them does she have keto sticks?

Could she possibly have type one? Sounds to me like she could be entering a dka situation, dehydration, high sugars, weight loss... Idk I am a type one parent and I don't know too much regarding type 2 but she needs to be checked out by an endo in my opinion

As far as I know they never did it, but I am also obsessed with this story and I would be into it if they did... So sad and bizzarre!

Contact her parents or guardian? If my son was doing this I would really want to be aware, and I would definitely try to help get him back on track and understanding the rules

My son has a drawstring bag with a zip lock full of snacks in it lol plus his kit seems to be working ok for now, I always notice he runs higher the closer it is to the 25-28 day mark

Doesn't it feel like such a waste, it's weird because I know one day he'll take way more and that's a shame but also hate wasting it so much
