I’ve been diabetic for a long time, not looking for advice or information.

Just wanted to share my experience with DKA and symptoms.

DKA has to come with some of the worst symptoms imaginable. The nausea is an entirely different beast from anything you get from a flu, stomach bug or the like. Your thoughts are limited to “oh god make it stop “ or “I’m dying”.

My second worse symptom has to be pain, muscles go into revolt, they tense up and scream at me. The only respite is time and an aggressive regiment of rehydrating.

Anyway just wanted to share my experience! To all those who have experienced it, what’s the worst part for you?

To those who haven’t, take this a a warning, it’s not something you want to go through.
