I just started having pains in my back right around where the left kidney is. Went and checked my ketones and they are trace but my bs is 146. So could the back pain and trace ketone mean something is wrong?
Antonia, My ketones have been very high the last two day and although I am not experiencing back back…I am experiencing severe leg pains. My blood sugar is in check but I have experienced other side effects: vomiting, sweating, heart racing. I contacted my endo and he said for me just to watch it for a couple of days and if my blood sugar elevates and ketones are present then go to the E.R. I have been debating whether or not I should just go because I know ketones can wreak havoc on your body. Have you contacted your Dr. or endo about your situation??
could be a kidney infection. You need to go to the doctors.
Trace ketones are nothing to be concerned about. High BG (146 isn’t high) & high ketones are cause for worry, if the high BG can’t be brought down. Drink water & test for ketones again.
Back pain could be anything. Contact your doctor if the pain persists.
