DKA
Narrowly avoided having to take M to the hospital last night. Like... narrowly. She was throwing up, everything pointed toward DKA (Diabetic Ketoacidosis - which is high blood sugar and too much acid in the system). We got some insulin in her, checked every couple of hours, and she was down to 66 this morning. From 582 last night. Normal is 70-180. So.
It's so FRUSTRATING because she has control over this! She motioned to me in passing that she hadn't had time to check her blood sugar. She needs to MAKE time. I'm just so tired of this. I don't know what else to do, either. Just.
UGH!!!
ETA: Which puts the kabosh on all my plans this morning, and this afternoon is insane, and GAH! I wanted to WRITE today!
