Hi there
I was wondering if anyone could help me and my daughter aged 13.
To cut a long story short. My daughter has been having high blood sugars since Thursday.
She was taken into hospital after being in DKA. Her ketones suddenly climbed from 4.4 to 5.8 in just an hour. The hospital put her on a fluid drip and insulin drip. As soon as they took her off the ketones came back. We spent 2 nights but 3 days in total in the hospital.
The hospital left her with high sugars without correction (they took her insulin away so I could not do it) she almost went into DKA again so they put her on fluids again. Her sugars came down.
The next day they sent her home knowing she was still getting highs and ketones! They increased the ratio of her insulin including novo rapid.
They took blood test all came back clear.
This morning she was high and her ketones were 2.7!
I've change her insulin pens just incase but still she gets high blood sugars.
I'm so frightened she will go back into DKA state. All the ups and downs is taken its toll on my daughter. She is so down.
I feel the hospital and her specialist doctor has packed her off without dealing with her situation. I have complained but got no where.
I was wondering if there was a specialist hospital I could take her in the country as she obviously isn't getting the right care.
This has happened before when she was having hypos, I could not get her sugars up! They sent her home. We was back in there shortly after!!!
Please can you help???
