You can not detect when you will get it.  You can know the things that will lead to it....those are the things that will make your sugars go too high for too long...generaly people will begin to feel tired / thirsty and urinating alot.  It is all the same disease...sugars getting out of hand.  We say you develop the acidosis based on the lab results...this is how it is known that you are no longer using sugar for energy but rather fats.  The use of these fats for energy leads to the by-product we call ketoacids.  You can't know they are there but you should see it coming as part of the whole sugars out of control picture.  The number one problem leading to DKA is non-compliance with diet and meds.  Stressed out...overworked...infections...pregnancy and anything else that puts stress on you will bring it on.  Alot of people find out they have DM when go to the hospital with DKA...usually a young man or woman.

Yea, mine ruptured 7 weeks prior to surgery. I almost died from the infection. If they need removed, gett'em out.

Sounds like you need to go in and talk to the hospital billing department.  Take the payment receipt that your insurance company sent to verify payment (all insurance companies do this).  If you have lost it, contact your insurance company and ask for a duplicate copy.

I can't say that I ever have. However, I've seen the mental ward at our local hospital. Looks like ordinary hospital rooms to me. I think the padded rooms went out many years ago!!!

I have a dear friend who did and she is fully recovered now. God be with you. I am sure you will be fine. Trust your doctors and the Lord.

It is not unusual considering you had surgery, but if you think it is infected, you need to see the doctor.

no, not at all, its just a matter of how many times, you do it, so dont be worried, plus the doc's know what there doing, but if your worried ask them next time, dont be shy

You could have been pregnant and not known it. \nGo to the hospital. This is not normal!

It is not smart to do it for your first time alone if you are really going to go through with it. I knew someone who went to the hospital because they did it on them self. If you are not going to go to a professional then please have some who has done several times before do it. i do not suggest not having a professional doing though.

I was out for breakfast with my parents and then I was in hospital for a few hours, because I broke me a toe...

I used to live on the streets for 8 months because of a drug addiction problem. I slept sitting upright in a bus terminal on most nights [I was 5-months-pregnant at the time]. There was a janitor that came in every day at 5:00AM, and if he found me asleep, he used a high-pressure water hose [like the ones firemen use] to chase me away. One day, I took some blood from another addict's vein who was infected with HIV, Hepatitis B & C [I was only infected with Hep. C]; paid the guy a couple of dollars to let me take the blood from him. I mixed the blood with water in a syringe to prevent it from coagulating, and kept it in my pant's pocket. I waited for the janitor to show up for work; as he was sitting with his back to me sipping a cup of coffee, I surreptitiously walked until I was right behind him, stuck the needle in his upper arm and injected him with the infected blood. When he realized what had happened, he started weeping like a baby. I told him "just a little token to remember me by to the end of your life". He had a nerve attack, and even peed in his pants. To this day, I've never seen him again; one of his coworkers told me that he quit his job and was in a deep depression. I hope that taught him not to abuse the disadvantaged of this world. On my part, I went to rehab, enrolled in college, got a bachelor's and a master's degrees in Nursing, and have never touched drugs again.
