He needs insulin to help get rid of the ketones.
Since the only thing he will consume with carbohydrates is soda, I would get him to drink as much soda a possible and give some insulin.
Thanks for the reply,I just noticed that you have the same anniversary as my wife and I. 8/89:p
Also, for future vomit fests, ask your endo to prescribe anti-nausea meds...

Hi JDR -
I posted this remedy in another thread.
Give your son this - Mix 1 capful of hydrogen peroxide in a glass with 5 capfuls water. Have him drink it. Yes, drink it. It will knock out a stomach virus in about 1 minute. You may need to repeat in a few hours. Worked like a champ for my daughter and my sister's daughter.
Let me know..!
Good luck.

Yes, I was thinking about that last night.It would be a great thing to have on hand.

I see this situation differently. We've heard BG is on the low side, and that he's been throwing up. In essence, the body is starving and burning fat for energy (thus the ketones).
In this situation, he needs CARBS to get rid of the ketones. I would hesitate to give insulin with the carbs, because if he throws up again then you've got new insulin working and no carbs - which is a recipe for a low..

We did see this yesterday when he eat lunch,and then threw it up 1.5 hours later. The next thing you know he tested and was 43. The good news is he is feeling much better now,and ketones are down to trace. Thanks for all the replies
Excellent news!!! Thanks for updating.
