How do i drop high ketone levels immediately ????
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dangerous: High ketone levels in diabetes can be a dangerous situation. Typically drinking extra fluids can help flush some of them out of your system. It may be necessary for you to take more insulin if you are insulin dependant. Check your blood glucose every hour or so and your urine and call your Dr if you can't reduce your ketones in 2-3 hours. Go to ER if you are dizzy, confused or have severe headache
