[QUOTE="ringi, post: 1613283, member: 410240"] Was it DKA you had or a coma due to high BG without your blood having a low pH and very high ketoacidosis? I am asking as you can't get a DKA unless your body is making no (or very limited) insulin, it is very unlikely that someone with Type2 will go from being well controlled on gliclazide and metformin to producing no insulin of their own in a short time. Hence you may not be Type2, or it may not have been DKA. Ask your consultant about it as a lot of doctors will not be clear on the type of diabetic coma due to the emergency treatment being the same. (As they sent you home without insulin, I don't think it was DKA, as my textbook says anyone who has had a DKA should be on insulin for life.) [/QUOTE]
