Diabetic Ketoacidosis

The American Diabetes Association just posted this article on Diabetic Ketoacidosis, also known as DKA, on facebook. As I read the article, I started to relive the days leading up to Cameron's diagnosis. I remember EVERYTHING about when the doctor's told us he was in DKA, and when I read up on it, how scary it was.

I try to keep Cameron healthy, and fortunately, his immune system is still the bomb. We monitor is ketones via urine samples, when his bs numbers go above 250. And we have a little pill he must take if he begins to vomit or become nauseous. I could write a book on what I've learned, and still learning, about Type 1 Diabetes.
