Hi I have been a diabetic now for 51 years, since the age of 2 years old. I had a mild heart attack, ened up in a coma becasue of negligences. I where the pump,The pump was never checked to see if it was i my body. I was moved to ICU. I was given to pints of blood... IT was 12 hour before they found the pump was not in me. I was severly amenic. my pottassium was so low they drip lined it . sugars were so high that I almosted died. from doctors or nurses not know what was wrong with me ..

Diabetologist 's  Response
dear sir I can understand your concern
in my opinion the condition might be due to disconnection of pump.
this is also called diabetic keto acidosis
when doctor s want to replace your glucose balance then potassium will come down relax nothing to worry
you will be active soon
check your pump offen
