Diabetes ketone body can come down in a few days


Building bridges to better health.
Diabetes ketone body generally 1-5 days down, details are as follows:
if the patient is mild, and can receive timely and effective treatment, ketone body may gradually drop to normal levels in 1-2 days. This is because timely supplementation of fluids can correct dehydration, insulin use can effectively promote glucose utilization, inhibit fat decomposition, thereby reducing ketone body production. If the disease is more severe, especially with severe acidosis, ketone body decline may take longer, may take 3-5 days or even longer. At this time, patients may need more active treatment measures, including large amounts of fluid replacement, continuous insulin infusion, etc., while closely monitoring the changes in various indicators, adjusting the treatment plan according to the condition.
Patients need to strictly follow the doctor's advice for diet control, moderate exercise, etc., which helps to better control blood sugar and promote the elimination of ketone bodies. If the patient does not cooperate well with the treatment, such as arbitrarily reducing insulin dosage, not controlling diet, etc., ketone bodies may decrease slowly or even worsen the condition.
