[QUOTE="Spiker, post: 938488, member: 102150"] In hospital or when treating ketoacidosis at home with the Sick Day Rules, it's crucial to not just drink water but keep your electrolytes topped up, just as you would with diarrhoea or any other dehydrating illness. Correction doses are good but with ketoacidosis you will find larger and more frequent correction doses are needed. As this goes directly against the normal blood glucose management protocols it is important to understand the Sick Day Rules and apply them properly. Like you [USER=188789]@Matt J[/USER] I had no clue about any of this until I did DAFNE nearly 20 years after diagnosis. [/QUOTE]
