Patient's question:
Recently I haven't been feeling well. What should I do about diabetic ketoacidosis?Doctor's answer:
Diabetic ketoacidosis is usually caused by poor blood sugar control. This is quite dangerous and requires hospital treatment. In the early stages, fasting, fluid replacement, and potassium supplementation are necessary, along with blood sugar monitoring. Once the blood sugar level drops to a certain extent, dextrose is added to insulin. Eating is only allowed after ketone bodies disappear. Effective blood sugar-lowering medications should be selected.Regarding the question, "What should I do about diabetic ketoacidosis?" we will stop here for now. If the condition does not improve, please seek medical attention at the hospital as soon as possible. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
