[QUOTE="Celtic.Piskie, post: 160934, member: 21171"] Dropping the glucose levels too quickly can lead to low potassium, imparing the heart, nerves, and muscles. It can lead to muscle cramps, weakness, and arrythmia, an irregular heat rhythm. There's a reason they don't do it agressively in hospitals. Children can also develop cerebral edema, basically swelling in the brain. This can occasionally be lethal, and and have long term complications. Treating it too agressively a lot of the time is more dangerous than the ketones itseld. [/QUOTE]
