[QUOTE="natasha61, post: 160733, member: 28466"] I've had diabetes 1 for over 32 years and fortunately have always been able to get rid of ketones quickly by testing very frequently and raising both my insulins as recommended in DAFNE. I have a daughter who developed diabetes at the age of 2 years, she has very frequent episodes of DKA through mismanaging her diabetes i.e. not taking her insulin etc. I normally treat her ketones very aggressively doing blood tests every 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Her diabetes nurse does not agree with the way I approach it, I feel that the no. 1 goal is to get rid of the ketones asap and it is only by the use of insulin in larger doses that this can be achieved. If someone is in hospital apart from problems finding veins etc. because of DKA in my opinion they don't take hard enough measures to get rid of the ketones. What does anyone think of my view?
