Thanks for comment.
I’m in prediabetic range.
I weigh 135 so not obese.
Yes- Gestational and non gestational causes. That’s why euglycemia ketoacidosis fits perfectly. Mt latest Dr says no but I can’t test my theory till I have an episode.
I follow diabetic diet and the glucose goddess as best I can. Allergist says nothing showing. I can control my carbs. I can’t control an infection. Very frustrating.

Well actually, my introduction to diabetes had some similarities! It looks in retrospect like all of a sudden I had sky-high insulin resistance, but in my case my blood glucose went sky-high, too, and I went into ketoacidosis.

That led to a trip to the ER and a weekend in the hospital for observation, a month on insulin, a month on Jardiance, and since then - a little metformin, exercise, and watching my diet, A1C mostly below 5.7.

I asked the doctors, "So what WAS that?" and all they can do is shrug.
