[QUOTE="Hooked, post: 524655"] I had DKA numerous times as a teen. I recall wrecking with nothing left in my stomach and just vomiting up black goo on one hospital visit. On another visit to hospital my levels were through the roof. The Dr had prepared my parents that I might not make it through. They couldn't get a vein anywhere, so had to go into a vein on my neck. I remember lying down and they put a cloth/cover over my face before they did it and I just lay there wondering if that meant I was actually dead. The following two days I woke every now and again seeing different relatives coming to visit, and unable to stay conscious long enough to say more than hello. Back then they would put you on a drip and nil by mouth for DKA. They used to bring in ice that you could moisten your lips with. I remember a number of times being so desperate for a drink I'd crunch on all the ice and beg the nurse to bring me more. [/QUOTE]
