Digest Number 494
Brian,
Your story brings back memories. Right before I was diagnosed, I had no
idea I had diabetes…I just thought I had some kind of weird flu bug or
something. So I did what I always do when I get sick…I fixed myself a big
cup of soup….this time it happened to be french onion soup.
Unfortunately, shortly after eating it, I ended up in the ER in a very
serious episode of DKA. As they were working me up, one of the nurses kept
leaning in…and she finally explained that she was trying to “smell for
ketones” on my breath. Poor girl…all she got was a big ol’ whiff of
vidalia onion!
Cheers!
Heidi
