> [@bkh](#): > > high BG can cause pseudo-hyponatremia I also heard this when I used to get DKA with a seasonal bug each year back in the '80s and '90s. The increased urination drains out sodium. The low sodium can persist for a little while even after IV saline, if the saline intake didn’t sufficiently compensate for the amount of sodium lost with increased urination resulting from the IV infusion. @CatLady, good to hear all’s well once again and you’re safely back home! ---

Thanks for all the support and food-for-thought: I follow up with my HCP next week and have a lot to discuss. 🙏 ---

Just some follow-up: Still having some GI symptoms ☹ and challenges managing my BG though staying in a more normal range. Boluses only starting to work normally, appetite so-so. Blood tests indicated I did have an infection but fecal tests so far have drawn a blank. I feel tired and down and not very confident in my D devices and management skills. Thanks for listening. 🙏 ---

CatLady, How have you been feeling lately? Have your blood glucose numbers been more stable? Infections under control? Hopefully, no more trips to the ER. ---

Thanks for asking. ❤ I am doing much better with all things GI finally back to normal in the last few days. I am taking a daily probiotic and eating some low-sugar yogurt to help things along. I am also working with a new CDE to put together a sick day plan for severe illness (I was so ill-prepared, no pun intended) and to help with some other D stuff. I told her about our forum and she cracked up about the name!! 😸 [Previous page](https://forum.fudiabetes.org/t/my-trip-to-the-er/11269.md?page=2)
