...for the better, as I understand. And, despite the large doses I'd been taking prior to DX, I still turned a 12.9% A1c at DX. The day before DKA kicked my rear, I'd taken "only" 45 g of the stuff... as opposed to my usual 65-ish grams. (My record was 80 g in one day.) Although highly circumstantial, the timing still piques my interest.
