Hi all
I have been in and out of hospital over the past 4 5 years with DKA, it always comes at a time when my control is good. I keep being told when I go in that I have an underlying infection. Get the usual treatment of sliding scale and the copious bags of saline. As soon as my ketones return to normal I am packed of home with no follow ups with regards the infection or anything.
I have a chest infection and a throat infection at the moment thankfully I am on top of my sugars and have not had a reading above 10 since Thursday but am so worried this is gonna end up putting me in hospital.
Does anyone know if stress can affect ketones at all I know it can have an affect on sugars.
Sorry if that makes no sense.
