Hello, I was just wondering if you could do me a post please...
I’ve been type one for 21 years and had my first brush with DKA yesterday! It was scary! My Omnipod had come out while I did the school run- my sugar was 7.8 before the school run and 19.8 with 1.5 ketones on my return! (We were probably about 2-2.5 hours total as we went to the park etc.) I had no idea why it was so high, so checked my pod and realised it had come out of the skin! I have them on my ‘love handles’ at the moment because my stomach needs a rest, So it’s not as easy to see if they’ve come out. I did everything I should do, corrected with a pen and changed my pod. Then I was sick twice and felt horrendous for a couple of hours, I know o was on the cusp of needing hospital treatment, but an hour later my ketones were 1.2 and the following hour 0.4 and I felt so much better!
Bloods fine this morning 4.4!
My question is- am I okay to carry on as normal today? I have hockey training later? Or should I take it easy?
I NEVER want to experience this again.
