Can I fix spilling high ketones at home?
I am a type 1 diabetic and in the past, when I was spilling high ketones, I always went to the ER. I am currently spilling high ketones and yes, my blood sugar is abnormally high (fighting an infection). What I am wondering is, with extra insulin and increasing my fluid intake, can I fix this issue without going to the hospital? I thank you in advance for your help.

Yes, extra insulin and fluid helps, as does constant testing.
However if you start feeling ill with any of the following: nauseous, vomiting, stomach pain, hyperventilating, breath starts smelling of pears, please go to the hospital immediately as those could be signs of diabetic ketoacidosis. This is the most serious of all diabetic emergencies and can be fatal if left untreated.
