Hi my names chris,
Ive recently been really bad with a chest infection for going on 3-4 weeks, not neccessary to the story but my neice (12 weeks old) was in the baby unit with bronculitis, so as an uncle would i was ther day in day out, monday night i was not feeling too good but with myself being ill and experiences in the past i would not of known if i needed insulin without a blood sugar reading, which in my mistake i had left at home, so being at a hospital i went to the walk in centre with intention of a sugar reading, within 30 minutes i was on a fluid drip and sliding scale with sugars in excess of 30+ and ketones no lower than 5.. Everytime i am unwell or sick, my insulin does just not seem to work like my body is rejecting it, does anybody else have these problems or is it just me ? Ive explained this to every doctor when i have a DKA but they just assume im not taking my insulim as i should be which is frustrating as they are insinuating that i am playing with my life..
If anyone else is experiencing this kind of thing could you please give advice on how to resolve it or anything would be helpful ?
Thanks for reading
