Spilling Ketones- URGENT!

[Guest guest]

I have a question about Datreon's ketones. This morning he woke up with a

fever of 99.9 and his blood sugar was 43, I was able to get that up to 116, He

has been spilling a moderate amount of ketones today, but his blood sugar has

been normal since this morning. So my question is, Is it a problem to spill

ketones and have a normal blood sugar? Thanks for your help in advance!

Yes, the spilling of the ketones means that he doesn't have enough

glycogen storage. He is at risk of dropping his blood sugar

levels. Is he drinking but not eating (maybe drinking something

like juice or Pedialyte which causes his blood sugar levels to stay

in the normal range but cause ketone spilling?).

Do you have a copy of the Dr. H letter about why these kids spill

ketones? It explains things better. Let me know. He needs to eat

some type of complex carbo very often -- goldfish or anything?

I'm not sure how true it is but i work for a family doctor and one of my

co-workers told me you spill keytones when you are dehydrated! So give him lots

of fluid and see what happens
