[QUOTE="HLC2017, post: 1447832, member: 394996"] Dear Hollie, It was lovely to receive this message, and please don't apologise for length--I'm so glad you wrote. I think I may 'know' you from the GD group on FB. If you are the Hollie from that group, then I have to tell you that you saved me from a spell in hospital. You may even (sounds a bit dramatic, but who knows) have saved my life. I read your post about going into DKA and being hospitalised. I hadn't been feeling myself and it occurred to me that I ought to dust off my testing kit. I had blood ketones of 1.5 and was seen immediately by my GP and by the diabetes/endo people 2 weeks later. (In the interim I went back on the LCHF diet and became very ill with starvation ketones, which was grim, but at least I wasn't hospitalised, which would have been very difficult for my children, especially my daughter who is ebf). I'm sorry for your diagnosis but at the same time I'm glad I'm not the only one struggling to get my head round the high numbers. Take good care, enjoy your sugar baby, and I hope we can stay in touch. Hannah [/QUOTE]
