[QUOTE="pileobunnies, post: 898515, member: 170177"] [SIZE=4]Diabetic ketoacidosis. It's a shortage of insulin that happens mostly in Type 1 diabetics. I'm Type 2, and I was hospitalized with a DKA in February after two months of extremely rapid weight loss for no apparently reason -- that's because the body is desperate to try to cope without functioning insulin and thus was using up my fat reserves to keep me alive. Side effect of that process is the blood gets acidic, which isn't good. I was in hospital for several days. It can be life threatening. I was so exhausted that I could barely move across my apartment, but after a few days of being in hospital, I felt perfectly fine. A doctor needs to check your husband for ketones to rule this out.[/SIZE] [SIZE=6][B][/B][/SIZE] [SIZE=6][B][/B][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
