My three and a half year old daughter was in DKA [diabetic ketoacidosis] a month and was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. At the time of diagnosis her blood sugar was 150 mmol/L [2700 mg/dl] and her sodium was 198. when she was in ICU, the doctors said they had never seen someone with a sugar this high. One doctor told me he had heard of a virus that caused your blood and sodium levels to skyrocket, and the child did not have diabetes. Could something else cause your sugars to go high and low?
