Hello, Thanks for the query.
If ketones are present means blood glucose is not in control. So You should control that . But it is better to go the ER and get proper treatment. At home it may be difficult to manage. Because ketones present indicates very high blood glucose, which needs to be managed at ER setting. Thanks.
