A member asked:

I am 32 weeks pregnant with gestational diabetes and test my ketones before i eat in the mornings last few days it has been moderate. what to do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Test Glucose: Ketones can be positive for several reasons, you want to know what your glucose value is. If your glucose is good, a hemoglobin a 1 c may be of help. You may need hydration in the morning. Talk to your doctor. If you have gest diabetes, you should be followed by a physcian for your health and your babies health.
