[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2280853, member: 401801"] It'd help if we knew what you're doing now. We know your medication, but was that the only thing keeping you at a HbA1c of 40? Did you do anything else? Diet? Exercise? What do your daily meals/snacks/drinks look like on average? And good point from [USER=101136]@Jaylee[/USER] , do you have a meter? (Considering this, if you do not, you might want to consider a CareSens Dual or similar, as it can read both regular strips and ketone strips. You could also go for a cheaper meter besides that, which only does blood sugars. Or rather, a meter that takes cheaper strips, as you'll probably be testing a lot in the next few weeks.). You need to know what your blood sugars are up to, and whether there have been, or are, any drastic changes in them anywhere. DKA doesn't often happen to T2's, though it is not unheard of. But then it usually involves some kind of other medication like a steroid or sever infection or something. If the doc really thinks you went into DKA-territory, you might want to request C-peptide and GAD testing. See whether you weren't just in a honeymoon period while you're actually LADA/T1. Not to scare you, but you don't want this happening again. Just covering the bases. Good luck, Jo PS: Some stuff on diet that might be of interest if you truly are a T2: [URL]https://josekalsbeek.blogspot.com/2019/11/the-nutritional-thingy.html[/URL] [/QUOTE]
