Yet Another DKA Incident

He kept his sugar a bit on the high side these last two weeks so as not to risk passing out again. This lead to another bout of Diabetic Ketoacidosis on Saturday. He was throwing up and hiccupping all night Saturday. We recognized it right away for what it was and were able to self-treat rather than going to the emergency room. Last year we had no idea and so wasted two days being sick. This time we started extra insulin right away. I slept downstairs and got up every hour or so to sit with him. It was difficult to keep him hydrated because he'd throw it right back up. The vomiting subsided Sunday morning, and the hiccupping stopped a few hours later.
