So after being Dka,for probably a little over 24hrs. and a 24hr stay in my local a&e medical assessment unit. I was discharged yesterday at 4pm.
Sent home with my own pump back in action, novorapid flex pen and lantus flex pen for my rescue pack. Woke this morning on 14.5. Had breakfast bolused as normal. And within and hour my bm had shot up to 25.4.
Corrected with pen and injected 12u of lantus at 10am. Obviously my own pump isn't working at full capacity yet, I assume it's like when I switched to pump half doses of long acting till it stabilises.
Anyone who has had episodes of DKA. Am I to expect a period of unsettled bms and major swings for a while?
It's been my first episode of DKA since diagnosis in 2007 and I can't remember much of that time due to the brain fog.
I'm currently testing hourly to check for oncoming hypos. last check just now 12.8. Having had a small sandwich and banana which was 28g carbs.
Any advice welcome.
