Understanding Diabetes
DKA and illness Everyone occasionally has episodes of illness and it rarely develops into DKA. Illness can make diabetes more difficult to control and make you feel thirsty, tired and pass more urine than usual. Here are some tips to help you manage your diabetes when you are ill: l Rest
– strenuous exercise can make your blood glucose levels rise.
l If
you are able to test your blood glucose levels, test at least 4 times over the day. You may need an increase in your diabetes medication if the blood glucose readings are much higher than usual (seek medical advice about this).
l Drink
plenty of sugar-free fluids to prevent dehydration. Try to drink about 4 to 6 pints over the day.
l If
you do not feel like eating normal meals, eat or drink easily digested foods such as milky drinks, ice cream, yoghurt and soups.
l If
you think you have an infection, see your GP.
l You
can use over-the-counter medicines for sore throats and a raised temperature if required. These do not have to be sugar-free. Ask your pharmacist for advice.
l If
your symptoms are getting worse or you think you are developing DKA, seek urgent medical advice.
If you are going into hospital or are admitted for major surgery or are admitted for an acute serious medical illness, your doctor may stop your SGLT2 inhibitor medication. It can usually be restarted once you have recovered.

What is diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA)? l DKA
develops due to an absolute lack of insulin in type 1 diabetes. DKA in type 2 diabetes is due to severe relative insulin deficiency.
l Insulin
is needed to get glucose from the blood into cells for energy.
l DKA
develops when there is not enough glucose entering the cells because there is not enough circulating insulin in the body. The body then begins to use its fat stores as an alternative source of energy. This results in acidic ketones being produced. are toxic and disrupt the normal functioning of the body’s processes.
Signs and symptoms of DKA If you are able to test your blood glucose, you may notice it is higher than usual. However, DKA can still be present with moderately raised blood glucose levels and may include the following symptoms: l Thirst l Passing l Rapid
more urine than usual
weight loss
l Drowsiness l Feeling
and/or being sick
l Stomach
pain
l Breathlessness
l Ketones
TREND-UK has a number of downloadable leaflets covering a range of diabetes-related topics:

Other people may notice that your breath smells of pear-drops or acetone. These are ketones. A nurse or doctor can test your blood or urine and detect the presence of ketones.
If you have the signs and symptoms of DKA, you should get to hospital quickly for treatment
