Glucemia y cetonemia en diabéticos tipo 1 en el ambiente controlado de una colonia de verano

Measurement of glycemia together with ketonemia in a summer camp allows reliable follow-up of glycemic control to be performed. Ketonemia usually occurred before breakfast in parallel with slightly elevated glycemia, but resolved quickly. Moderate physical activity for 45 minutes does not seem to significantly increase blood ketones if metabolic control is normal. β-HB is a useful parameter to determine whether moderate physical exercise is advisable or not. The lack of urinary ketone tests due to the difficulties of obtaining a sample can currently be solved by blood ketone measurement.
