Thanks Sheena

She text me to let me know, but she's probably texting on the QT. Hope she has a good night. Sheena
 
Gail has had her appointment with the doctor first thing he did was measure her ketones and immediately said you have Ketoacidosis he could even smell it, so she has been sent straight to the medical assessment unit and is waiting for a bed, when i hear more i'll update x

What is ketoacidodis?
 
Please pass on my love and best wishes to Gail for a speedy recovery xxxx
 
What is ketoacidodis?

It's acid that remains in your body and then starts burning fat. It can be very dangerous and can lead to a Diabetic Coma. Newly diagnoised often end up in hospital because the BS has been high for a while and then ketoacidodis sets in . My little grandaughter Grace was diagnoised 10 days ago and she had ketones.
