So I had my first experience of DKA on Monday. I had gone to the doctor as I had been ill for around 5 days (glandular fever) and expected an antibiotic... instead I got an ambulance! So the doctor at hospital explained that as I had been feeling poorly, it had affected my blood sugars and knocked me in to DKA, which I probably (stupidly!) hadn't recognised as I had been feeling rubbish (read sh*t) already. It's now Friday and I'm so exhausted - have been since I left hospital. I feel like my body is too heavy for me to carry and I just want to sleep constantly. Is this to be expected? I want to get back to my normal self!
