What Do Ketones In Urine During Pregnancy Indicate?
Hi I am 29 weeks pregnant and have had gestational diabetes since 10 weeks. Recently I have found ketones in my urine in the morning. I am eating 2 pieces of diabetic bread with peanut butter as a bedtime snack and have been eating this snack for months. I have recently increased my night insulin to 29 units. If i increase my insulin do i need to increase my snack as well

Hi,
From history it seems that your gestational diabetes under control.
There might be heavy blood sugar giving ketone bodies.
Consult Diabetologist and get examined and investigated.
Proper treatment and proper dose of insulin will control your diabetes.
Do not go for changing insulin dose by your own.
Go for proper diet plan as advised by specialist.
Ok and take care.
