[QUOTE="diamondnostril, post: 1712813, member: 63791"] Hi [USER=374531]@Scott-C[/USER] ... I saw on another thread your opinion that I had posted "irresponsibly" on this thread. Just to be clear, the reassurance that I gave to [USER=71299]@jillsymes66[/USER] on this thread was not [B]solely[/B] "because she didn't have high bg" as you stated. My reassurance that she does not have DKA was based on the fact that she did not report [B]ANY[/B] of the symptoms required for a diagnosis of DKA. She was injecting Insulin, she was keeping blood-sugars near-normal, and crucially her Ketone levels were not high enough for a DKA diagnosis. When somebody does not show [B]ANY[/B] of the symptoms required for a DKA diagnosis, reassuring them that they do not have DKA seems reasonable. Otherwise we all have to spend our entire lives at the hospital, getting checked (and re-checked, and re-checked, and re-checked) for every emergency condition we are not showing symptoms of. Hopefully that clarifies my position. Regards :) Antony [/QUOTE]
