[QUOTE="KK123, post: 1954563, member: 451727"] Hi Penguin, it's not always possible to get your glucose levels down quickly enough to prevent DKA if you are well on the way. Even when you are in hospital on a drip, it can take a while, and DKA is rapid. As Mbaker said of the potential outcome, it is far too serious a risk to ignore and if you think you might be getting it (ie, by high levels and high ketones) then panic is what you should be doing. Do you have advice on what to do from your own DN/GP?, ie, if YOUR levels reach this because of your particularly brittle diabetes, then do this, etc? x [/QUOTE]
