Dr Shabir performed ketone testing, struggling to get the GlucoRx machine to show a reading of 2 instead of 3. The ketone strips were unreliable for detecting Diabetic Keto Acidosis. She was supportive, advising me to drink 2-3 litres of water and take insulin and sukkarto, which I had neglected during my illness. I subsequently used the same machine to check HCT weekly or when unwell, and increased my water intake. Ketostix were ineffective in clearly indicating when medical intervention might be necessary. I understood her reasoning for reducing the medication from 2 tablets to 1 due to drowsiness. She provided a helpful link and scheduled a follow-up in 8 weeks. As part of my self-treatment, I incorporated magnesium glycinate gummies, dopamine balance supplements, and Astaxanthin, though I plan to consult the next GP about the appropriateness of these additions for my conditions.
