Yesterday I had the pleasurable experience of dealing with DKA and I can tell you now I would not wish for anyone else to get it. Started with sickness constantly and I ended up getting kidney pain, headache, dizziness and stomach pains. I felt so miserable at the time I prayed I would pass out. So far I've had glucose, sliding scale insulin and fluids with potassium. My veins are awful and take like 3 attempts to get one so I look like a bruised pin cushion. Here for 2 nights and to make things worse I am 3 hours away from home! Thankfully on the mend but I can honestly say I never want to experience that again.
