Has this happened to anyone else? I can't seem to keep anything down my stomach is sore all the time and I'm miserable.
Does anyone have any advice as to what can get me back on track. I'm not going back into hospital

Acceptance of health treatment claims that are not adequately supported by evidence. I dislike it when people sell ineffective and even harmful alternative health products to exploit the desperation of people with chronic illness.

I'm not T1 but I've read others here say that it can take a few weeks to come right after DKA. Not sure if this would be relevant when recovering from DKA, but maybe ask your GP about some meds for the nausea/vomiting? It's also possible that you have something else going on, so it might pay to get checked out. Stomach pain and vomiting can be a sign of several conditions.

It's best to phone your DSN or doctor for advice just to be safe. Are your blood sugars ok?
