Things surrounding diabetes - ketones

Hello,

Children consume glucose: in greater quantity, more quickly, and at the same time it is limited, compared to that of an adult

When their glucose resources quickly empty, for some reason, some can lead to ketones, trying to look for another source of energy (fats)

Given this situation, it gives the impression that the organism could be shooting another event in order to provide glucose, causing hyperglycemia

The symptoms of ketones is very common, whether or not they derive in hyperglycemia

If you want to comment ...

The ketones arise due to a decompensation of blood glucose, and that decompensation can be caused by many causes, the most common a bad control of diabetes, infections due to other diseases, there may also be ketone with normal glucose values ​​that generallyThey indicate weight loss as any other non -diabetic person.

Hi Neko

Imagine there is no hyperglycemia.

A child jumps and runs and loses 'energy' (glucose = & gt; hypoglycemia), and the organism pulls fat.
They begin the discomforts: abdominal pain, vomiting = & GT;ketones

Before the low glucose, it could be viable that the body triggers an event that provides excessive glucose?
Producing a meeting of hyperglycemia, ketones and possibly in the worst scenario acidosis

The child will try to eliminate this excess through the urine

The situation is very similar in a type 1 diagnosis
Given this excessive glucose response, insulin would fall short

ketones without hyperglycemia are normally due to a scarce hypocalical regime in HC;More or less as Neko told you.Or simply, before a prolonged fasting.

ISCI / debut: 1986 / HbA1c: 5,5%

  

Yes, that's clear ... but 'after' is the doubt
Ketones with non -hyperglycemic situation = hypoglycemia = & GT;Fat strip (ketones)

But, if the organism has gone the clamp and tries to correct the error?
Ketones with hyperglycemic situation = event that provides glucose (and excess) = ketones and hyperglycemia

It causes me curiosity, which are similar situations: symptoms, discomfort

In the end
