[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 493977, member: 21149"] Hi Brett. Thanks for that explanation; it does clarify things a bit. I'm not an expert on DKA treatment or sliding scale stuff but to my engineering sense I would have thought when in DKA it might make sense to have an initial big shot of insulin to get away from excessive blood sugar but not too big and then to slow it right down to get the balance right without needing any carbs. I'm sure there are good reasons for the current approach but do I have a sneaking suspicion that the NHS love affair with carbs might be lurking in the background as well? [/QUOTE]
