my daug has juevile diab. is 22 years old. A1c is 9.5. She was at emer. for flu like symptoms. chronic headache, backache, small ketones, nausea and vomitting here and there. All tests came back normal. They treated her for dehydration. 3 days latter she had endo. appt. /Test resutls, 300 cholest./ bp normal/ hemo glob. only 9. (it was 13.5 three days before) . Today she has a headache and has nausea again. We are going crazy at what might to wrong. I think it might be something with kidney. Her endo. dr. mentioned pancreatitis. I am grasping at straws. Other things going on are: put on synthroid for thyroid probs. weight gain and middle bloating. Cholestr. shot way up. Any Ideas.
Hi thanks for using Chat Doctor Type 1 DM can have ketosis even with mild infection. The treatment will be HY Chat Doctor. Fluid and insulin are the mainstay of treatment. Look for UTI. Usg-abdomen and S. Lipsae/Amylase can tell you whether Pancreatitis is there or not. I think the problem creator is the ketones. Please HY
