Guest guest Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 Has she or is she sick at all? How is she eating? Both of these may be causing her to have ketones. Can you check for them with Ketosticks? If she isn't eating well it could be causing it. I am sure someone else may be able to help further. I hope everything is okay though.

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 A child can spill ketones without being sick. Do you check blood sugars? How is her calorie intake? I would start doing ketone checks with her urine and then call your Pediatrician and/or Endo immediately if you see any spillage of more than trace with the results. Please keep us posted. - H > > My gaughter Morvens breathe constantly smells of ketones.Any ideas > what is causing this.She had her blood sugar tested a few months ago > and they were apparenty normal. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
