Diabetes can KILL YOU! Dangers of Diabetes with Ketoacidosis

Diabetes can KILL YOU! Dangers of Diabetes with Ketoacidosis

So don't do drugs. That is the message for this video. And I think these days you are more likely to die of problems with drug related issues than even road traffic accidents. So this is a major, major issue.

We recently had a young lady. She came to the hospital with fevers, chills shaking all over. She was found to have swelling, warmth and severe pain of her arm where she normally injects her heroin. Now, that is a bad recreational drug to start off with but what happens in people who inject themselves is that they develop infections in that area. What could happen is that the infection can spread in the blood stream and lead to infecting your heart. But that can be especially dangerous. So she came to the hospital. She had spiking fevers. She had chills. She had not gone into withdrawals from her heroin yet but she apparently left against medical advice and did not want to be treated. And apparently of course, she wanted to inject herself with more heroin.

Two days later, she comes back to the hospital with raging fevers and worsening pain of her arm. Of course she was admitted again. She was started on antibiotics. Found out that she had a really bad bacteria and a bug that could be very, very dangerous. Fortunately, she did not develop any infection of the heart. So the course of her antibiotics were not that long. Having said that, still she put herself in a very dangerous position. She agreed thankfully, to undergo rehab. And because she agreed to do rehab which a lot of people don't and they just want to go out and keep on doing these types of drugs. And the good thing about that was we could put in a line where she will be monitored through which she could receive longer antibiotics. I guess it is very risky in these patients who are drug abusers because they may use that line to inject drugs into them. And that could put the medical practitioner in jeopardy also. But for her, she was gonna be monitored. We put in a line for her through which we were giving her medications by IV which she definitely needed. And of course she would be monitored closely in a closed unit where she will be detoxed from her heroin addiction.

Now this was a happy ending. Hopefully she maintains this. Hopefully she does not go back into abusing drugs. A lot of times what happens it's not the person, it's the environment that the person is living in. If they don't have any family support. If all their friends are into drugs and they're not involved in other activities they don't go to school or they don't have a job. All they can do is waste their time on drugs. Which is very, very unfortunate. And as I said, this problem is as bad as getting into a car accident. This is surely avoidable by not getting into these medicines in the first place. So the rule again is do not do drugs. If you do, you have to be ready for the consequences.

So let's finish this video off and again, it's your doctors goal to prevent you from taking medication. But if you have to, you must take them properly. My friends, stay healthy. And stay safe.

    My friend just died from going braindead. One too many times going to the hospital for not taking care of himself. Everyone saw it coming, but he refused to take care of it, and bam.. 3 months later, yesterday, he had gone back in the hospital, and is now dead. Left behind kid, friends, family.. I cant judge him, but everyone knows not taking care of yourself is considered suicide if you know your risks are major. I hope God has mercy on him. He must have been extremely tired of life and dealing with it for sure. But i have raging mental illness, and i have to keep going to the end and make my family proud, and be a good example in the face of extreme suffering. So souldier up, get your mind right, its going to be hell, but what type of person are you? What are you made of? The tests will prove you out.

      Doc Khan Hello I’m 13 years old and I fear that I have Diabetes whether it’s type 1 or type 2. I think this because I am constantly urinating and drinking and I get blurred eyesight and sometimes feel sleepy and weak. I have ate quite a lot of sugar lately. It is currently the holidays so that’s why I have been eating alot of candy. I don’t do alot of exercise because I have bad weather where I live but when it is sunny I usually go on my trampoline. Can you tell me how much sugar the body need to get Ketoacidisis because I am very worried.

    I think the doctor is a bit off. Type 2 diabetes don’t get ketoacidosis, they get Hyperosmolar hyperglycemia non ketotic state. As long as you have insulin, you can’t get ketoacidosis.

    Diabetes mellitus (sometimes called “sugar diabetes”) is a condition that occurs when the body can’t use glucose (a type of sugar) normally. Glucose is the main source of energy for the body’s cells. The levels of glucose in the blood are controlled by a hormone called insulin, which is made by the pancreas .. the little explanation I get from my doctor ..when I was diagnose of diabetes mellitus.. I never thought I will be cure of this deadly disease .. an writing this because many where kill with this disease and while a herbal medicine can treat it very well .. contact my God sent doctor, Dr HOPE ..if you have any kind of disease talk to him about it and no what is the outcome like ..

    i got diabetes type 1 almost 1 year ago. I dont worry much at all i just try to take care and just live normal.
    if it is people out there that got diabetes type 1 or 2 but especially type 1. Just keep fighting or just dont think so much about it first time i got it i thought that i would die and get blind and everything you NOT should worry about. So just try to live normal but ALWAYS have an eye on the blood sugar! If you do that nothing to worry about.
    (Great video tho!!)For those who wondering. I am 12 years old, and live in sweden.
