ketoacidosis or ketosis within one week; Before onset, there are often symptoms of gastrointestinal or upper respiratory tract infections.
Some sugar lovers may not be able to intuitively understand how serious fulminant type 1 diabetes is, so let's take two cases to illustrate. Example 1
Xiao Li is 20 years old this year and has been in good health since childhood. He doesn't smoke or drink alcohol, and he rarely gets colds every year. However, this year, a "cold" that he thought was not serious sent him to the hospital. Because of abdominal pain, diarrhea, vomiting and fever for two days, and did not improve, Xiao Wang finally went to the hospital. He thought he was suffering from stomach flu, but after a series of examinations, the doctor told Xiao Wang that he was ketoacidosis caused by fulminant type 1 diabetes. The fasting blood glucose was up to 21 mmol/L, 0 reply

but HbA1c was close to normal, only 6.1%. If Xiao Wang doesn't come to the hospital for examination in a timely manner, the consequences could be unimaginable if it continues. Especially, this disease often coexists with multiple organ dysfunction such as liver, kidney, heart, striated muscle (see knowledge base), and exocrine pancreas. Severe metabolic acidosis often leads to hyperkalemia, putting the patient's life in danger. After listening to it, Xiaoli felt scared for a while.
From the above case, we can find a keyword, which is "ketoacidosis". I believe that many diabetics are familiar with this term. Diabetes ketoacidosis is a serious disorder syndrome of glucose, fat and protein metabolism caused by insufficient insulin and inappropriate elevation of glucocorticoid. Diabetes ketoacidosis can be clinically divided into mild, moderate and severe. Only ketosis without acidosis is called diabetes ketosis. In addition to ketosis, mild to moderate acidosis is also found in mild to moderate ketosis; 0 reply
