4 ketones in urine

[Fanfanfanfanfanslskwk]

I’m 36 weeks have gd and told I have 4+ ketones in urine
I hadn’t drank much today and midwife said it’s probably just that and drink more
should I be worried as I see other people online get send to hospital with 4?

I feel fine no sickness
can I buy test strips online to check tomorrow they’re gone ?
idk if I should be worried

spoke to diabetic team, they said its generally not a worry if your not type 1 and if my reading are within range which they are but on lower side, she said try adding more carbs with every meal and every snack, which I wasn't doing with snacks so ll try that and add a fistfull of carbs at meals, and drink more water!

Absolutely drink more than you are, I had 3+ and they didn’t let me leave clinic until they went down. It’s only an issue if they remain high.

I defo didnt drink enough today as was struggling to even get a sample together, but drank loads about 30 mins before then had to quickly wee at doctors before, but I will drink more I usually do but ive been sleeping alot today so didnt !

There's 0 reason to do anything other than to drink more.

People get admitted because they have ketones and can't drink more because if vomiting. That doesn't apply to you. Listen to what you've already been told.

I had this yesterday - 3 ketones.

midwife just told me I need to up my water intake x
