[QUOTE="Scott-C, post: 2059273, member: 374531"] The combination of stopping insulin, weight loss, increased thirst, smelly sweat, is ringing DKA alarm bells. It's well known that excess ketones can be released in sweat. Have someone smell your breath - if it has a fruity "pear drop" smell, that is acetone, one of the ketones. Nutrional ketosis is one thing, whereas ketoacidosis kills and the end stages advance very very quickly, within a few hours. You already have some of the indicators of early stage dka - weight loss, thirst, possibly ketone sweat - you really do need to bg test. If it's too high, you could be sleepwalking into an extremely serious life threatening condition if you do not get medical attention soon. [/QUOTE]
