Edit: I’m a Type 1.5 - 3 DKAs, none under these conditions. All triggered by lung colds, which basically flipped into pneumonia and DKA all at one time.
I’m pounding water because I believe I’m dehydrated. Believe it or not I’m not partying, I’m moving so I was using some Power Powder. No excuses, just full honesty.
I’ve been packing hard for 3 days, only drinking Diet Coke and in 105 degrees. I’ve been eating breakfast lunch and dinner, fully compliant with all medications and insulin usage, but my blood sugar is always crazy.
I can go to the hospital now, i’m OK with testing positive for cocaine, I’m done being a professional now. LOL, but I’d rather see if the numbers go down from drinking a bunch of water.
My sister is with me and she knows all aspects. Checking on me and then will sleep with me tonight.
I know the right thing to do is just go to the hospital right now. But I’m exhausted from all the packing, drinking the water, and quite frankly, I’d love to put off the Hospital thing for a while unless necessary. But the thing is, it could be nessasary.
Totally interested in opinions and experience, judgments are fine but won’t be taken into consideration. LOL
Edit #2: 16 oz h20 in, 45 mins later, test strip now at 40.
Edit #3: 8 more ozs, keytones at 15, 20 minutes later. Ok, imma gonna go sleep super hard and probably wake up 4 more times going pee. Yay!
