I''m doing terrible with all due respects, i have not been well at all, went in A&E with DKA, can't make heads nor tails out of it, i had been starting keto again and had been fasting so naturally would have higher ketones, i went into keto by error due to running out of medication and having to wait a week for a repeat prescription, as such was low carbing but the following week my sugars had gone to 15mmol and i go silly if they're over 9mmol, dizziness, nausea etc etc,
So, i took a Jardiance 2 days running and I think that's what pushed me into DKA, woke up with a headache from hell and ketones at 6.1mmol and sugars at 11.1 mmol, had some food and that dropped my ketones down to 4.8 and later even lower but when i was admitted the form says: Ketacidosis precipitated by diet and poor glycaemic control, had ketones and CBGL 11mmols, underneath it says in ED was found to have Ketones at 2.3 and BM 7.2, pH 7.27, given Ivf and ketones improved to 1.9. (ketones at 2.3 on ketogenic diet are not too high are they?)
They wouldn't let me out unless i had breakfast and offered me toast and marmalade or cereals to include porridge which i told them takes me to 28+. So they've now put me on Gliclazide is it at 80Mg twice a day, however, 2nd morning home i've woke up with bloods at 11.3 and 15mmol so why would i even think to eat now- even though i'm absolutely starving which is another thing because they injected me with an apetitie surpressant too. so they were trying to make me eat after having that... i'm miffed to be honest and feel dreadful, dinner included potatoes and carrots, or rice, or other carb hell.
I daren't eat right now, not with sugars at 11mmol because one slice of toast takes me from 5-13 usually so where shall i be after one if they're this level, well in the 20's. it's like, i'd happily eat egg and bacon but this risks going keto again, i just don't know what to do, please help or advise only i'm at the end of my tether now, i'm so depressed with it all.
