Hey guys,
Has anyone heard of people getting diabetic ketoacidosis while being Type 2? I've been discharged from the hospital day before yesterday after a 10-day hospitalization stay due to DKA and severe dehydration (didn't know I had diabetes and found out my a1c was 10.6 while in the ER).
They've tentatively diagnosed me with type 2 diabetes, but the endocrinologist isn't 100 sure yet and said it could just be the honeymoon phase. I was reading online and found that it was unusual for DKA to happen to type 2 diabetics.
So far the ISLET CELL Antibodies test came back negative and the GLUTAMIC ACID DECARBOXYLASE AB result was < 5 IU/mL (within reference). Both of which suggest it isn't type 1 diabetes. My C-Peptide also came back at 2.57 ng/mL (within reference), so I guess my pancreas is still sort of working for now?
Does anyone have any advice on this? Could this be misdiagnosed type 1 or another more rare form of diabetes?
