Well, we just now got home from the hospital.
They were going to admit her...her sugar was 575 and she had ketones...but not DKA. They took a LOT of blood(finally)...but it blew out her vein(she has little veins like me)...and she had a reaction to the Potassium chloride drip(headache and nausea)...they took her bg...b/f the potassium chloride, and it went down to 383...they gave her insulin and more saline, checked her a while later and she was 385. She still has traces of ketones...so we have to call tomorrow morning at 8 a.m. to the endo's. Praying those ketones go away so not another day in the hospital...she actually broke down when they first mentioned her being admitted(don't know why they changed her mind)...
Anyhow, they upped her insulin(we did that already ourselves)....and now the new endo, CDE and dietician shall begin
I've got to get some sleep...my head is POUNDING...actually, haven't eaten, that's probably it...
Night all
