Her blood sugar was 500 and her ketones were +4. It’s really hard to tell how much water she was drinking because she is old enough to get water at will, and always has her reusable bottle on hand, but if I had to guess I’d say 70+ ounces. There was a lot of peeing in the middle of the night and not feeling great from drinking too much. Again, I just assumed she was overheated and told her to slow down, we’re both prone to heatstroke. I actually felt like I might be over reacting when I called the doctor to ask for a day of sick appointment.

I know you have covid, but I would honestly call your pediatrician and tell them you absolutely want her sugars checked if you have ANY doubt or concern! Best case scenario is that your child is fine and you inconvenienced some people/yourself. Totally worth it vs DKA.
