A member asked:

If you're a type one diabetic and have been vomiting and diarrhea should you go to the hospital?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably: B"sd every type 1 diabetic should know about the dangers of diabetic ketoacidosis. disorders such as vomitting and diarrhea can bring it on in some cases. If symptoms are mild and well tolerated then closs monitoring of the blood sugar and checking the urine for ketones may alow for home care. Otherwise, urgent evaluation for dehydration and assocaited ketoacidosis is mandatory. glad to discuss
