[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2281752, member: 401801"] Hi [USER=526806]@LindsayCatt[/USER] , Sounds like a bit of a perfect storm. Have you had that particular implant before? Because there are some contra-indications for diabetics. Worsening insulin resistance, glucose intolerance... Though I think your response might've been a bit extreme, it is something that needs to be looked at, something to mull over. (I do fine on a hormone shot myself every 10 to 13 weeks. The pill wasn't doing enough to keep my migraines in check, and the IUD was rejected by my body after being a good solution for about 8 years). A few things changed, which would explain why things got bad so fast: bad response to the implant, and a bunch of reductions that would have cushioned that particular blow, possibly. Also, feeling ill and tired/overly sleepy etc, are side effects of the implanon as well... I'm not sure you went into DKA, as more likely than not, you wouldn't be talking to us right now if that was what happened. I think you're just responding very, very badly to the implant. And you wouldn't be the first. Friend of mine is perfectly healthy and she had to have that thing removed within a week, things got so rotten.
