[Diabetes-talk] question

[cheryl echevarria]

you can also go into kidney failure, and coma.

I lost my kidneys in 2001 was on dialysis in 2002 had a kidney transplant in 2005 good friend donated to me.

Make sure when you see your doctor they are taken care of your kidneys if you are seeing a endocrinologist which is a doctor that specializes in Diabetes and other forms of the Endocrine Diseases.

The biggest compliment you can pay me is to recommend my services!

  Keytones are the protein that can spill into your urine.  If this is
  happening, it means your sugars are running too high, and if not taken
  care of, you can go into DKA (diabetic keyto acidosus, sorry, not sure
  of spelling *smile*) which can lead into a coma.

  They make these strips you can use to test for keytones.  They are a
  long strip (similar to glucose strips, but longer).  You pee on one end,
  wait a few seconds, then test the color of the tip of the strip to a
  code on the bottle.  Depending on the color, you may be running
  keytones, spilling protein into your urine.

  To my knowledge, there is no accessible way to test for keytones if you
  can not see.  So you would need a sighted person to help match the
  colors up.

  What are keytones?
  Why is this bad?
  Thanks,
