[QUOTE="Odin004, post: 1493229, member: 406622"] Hi [URL='http://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/members/katrina5664.353017/']@Katrina5664,[/URL] Thank you for this information; and I'm sorry to hear about your husband's diagnosis. It's quite reasonable to feel that weight loss is due to worry (as of course, that can happen) - but in your case, it seems that you developed some form of diabetes prior to hospitalisation - and given your sugar and ketone levels, I think insulin treatment was inevitable (albeit the initial dosages may have been a little too high). If they have identified that your pancreas has atrophied, did you get an explanation for this ? - or at least, were the possible causes discussed? This suggests to me that it's possible your pancreas isn't producing insulin - but not as a result of "type 1" diabetes (i.e. not an autoimmune condition). These insect bites - when did they happen - and in which country? [/QUOTE]
