Hi there…
I was diagnosed as a Type 1 diabetic about 1 year ago at the age of 13.
I am managing it quite well but I had high ketones last month. I was in ICU for a week.

Hi Linda
If the pain is in the centre of your heel and feels a bit like a spike being pushed up, it is not necessarily due to diabetes, but has more to do with what is happening to your feet. I have for years being wearing an orthotic insert in my shoe which completely takes away the pain. Ask your doctor for a referral or look for someone in your town who rents crutches and wheelchairs, they will generally be able to direct you.
If I can help you in any way, you can contact me on mitchellm@ukzn.ac.za.
Good luck,

What were your sugar readings when you had high ketones ? it appears to me that your insulin injection dosage is to much….ask your doctor to possibly adjust it.
