Ok so instead of answering 300 questions about my health Im gonna do it all @ once in this blog...
For those of u who didnt know I am diabetic...for the past month my Blood gluclose levels have been excessively high...When this happens it becomes a disease called DKA...Defination to follow....
{What Is Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA)?
Someone who has high blood sugar can develop a serious problem with a serious-sounding name: diabetic ketoacidosis (say: kee-toh-ah-sih-doh-sis). This happens if the body gets desperate for a source of fuel. The body wants to use glucose (sugar). But without insulin, that glucose stays stuck in the blood — and isn't available to the cells — so the body uses fat instead.
But that can sometimes cause problems. Why? Because when the body uses fat, chemicals called ketones (say: kee-tones) are produced. These ketones get into a person's blood and urine (pee) and they can make a person very sick. DKA is a very serious problem for people with diabetes, but the good news is that it can be prevented and treated.
If the person doesn't get treatment to help get their blood sugar levels down to where they should be, he or she may go on to get the following symptoms of DKA and could even pass out:
belly pain
nausea or throwing up
fruity-smelling breath
trouble breathing
confusion
coma
death}
now with that said I an in the beginning stages of DKA basically its now getting the levels under control before the organs shut down..Today they put me on 2 types of insulin and 2 diabetic pills plus my blood pressure was sky high so now im on bloos pressure medication. the knot under my arm concerned the Dr so they are sending me to a surgeon to have it removed and hopefully it will be nothing serious...I will be going back to the Dr next Wed to see if the Blood gluclose levels are l;owering to a more normal level if not Im not sure what they will do ...but most likely Ill be hospitalized until they can get it settled down..
Thank you for the few people who left well wishes and get wells on my page and in my messages. I appreciate it very much!
