[QUOTE="Dragonflye, post: 2286069, member: 34887"] Hey :) I'm not new to diabetes or even this forum (T1 myself on a pump) but on Tuesday night we were in A&E with my little girl in DKA. I've reconnected with the forum as although I have personal experience, it is more scary that my 7yr old now has it!!! Long story short, my baby was poorly and I checked her sugars and at 29.3 (plus another 2 checks to make sure it wasn't my bg machine playing up) we were immediately in the car and a few minutes later in A&E. She was so dehydrated that getting a cannula in was near impossible and that was possibly the worst part for my baby, all the needles and attempts :( Anyway 3 days later, she is testing her own bg and has been working out her carbs really well :) in fact she is better than me at working out carbs lol We are hoping to be going home today :) Anyway introduction over :) [/QUOTE]
