Hi
Whilst I have type 1 diabetes and suffered DKA due to pump failure, my partner who is type 2 had a DKA type episode on Tuesday night. He took a mocktail drink at the bar without thinking. Full on nausea, dizziness and feeling like death, just like my DKA episode. And obviously ketones- just a urine test but it was high. I got him to drink a tonne of water and it eventually came down. But he has been feeling wiped out by it, just as I was. I'm afraid I don't know the name of his medication, but it's the one that gets you to pee out sugars. I got him to take it with a low carb meal yesterday. He's still exhausted today.
I'd love to know if it's common for people with type 2- have you suffered it? How did you treat it?
Thanks
