A member asked:

I have blood ketones and my sugar level elevated. need advice?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See doctor for exam.: This is strongly indicative of diabetes. It appears to be pronounced due to the ketone bodies, so you need to see a doctor urgently to get your sugar down and guard against severe renal disease. Diabetes has several long and short term complications so get to the doctor asap.
