[QUOTE="Antje77, post: 2688152, member: 372207"] If it turns out she has in fact T1, weight gain should happen if she gets enough insulin to utilise the food she eats. All the glucose sitting in her blood is just sitting there without feeding her. So a typical high carb hospital diet isn't a bad approach, [B]provided that she also gets the correct amount of insulin to deal with those carbs[/B]. Hospitals are notoriously bad at adjusting insulin doses. Yes, they treat the DKA, but once that danger has been averted it's very common to have T1's and insulin dependent T2's run very high, give insulin a long time after food, inadequate correction doses etc. The guidelines now encourage T1's to manage their own diabetes in hospital if they can, because a general nurse can't.
