[QUOTE="Shannon27, post: 1565588, member: 429571"] Hi [USER=45963]@lely[/USER] hope you're feeling better soon! DKA is absolutely horrible, I totally sympathise with you! I just do injections, I'm not on the pump Unfortunately, from my experiences you are likely to be unstable for a while, DKA affects your body chemistry (diabetic ketoacidosis - basically it turns your body acidic). I've been DKA a few times in the 17+ years I've been diabetic, have only been in hospital once though. I was on 2 drips over the course of 4 days, one was some kind of an insulin drip (as I remember) and the other was a sugar drip for equilibrium. I'd say you may have to do a lot more work with the pump until your body readjusts. Try eating raw veg (if you like anything like that!). My mum is a bit of a health fanatic she keeps trying to get me to go on a diet where I basically just eat raw veg for a few days, she's read somewhere that its good for diabetics. No thanks i'll just have about a billion units with this pizza :) but it may help! [/QUOTE]
