up.
Goes up. I just had the flu and ended up in ketoacidosis. I actually just came home from intensive care unit in hospital. I use both novolog and lantus. I was so sick. The doctors in Emergency room said my potassium was dangerously high. When I had the flu I vomited just about continuously for about 4 days. Then I went into DKA and continued to vomit, wow was I sick. I actually almost died. Check your blood sugar when you are sick, it is vitally important.
Are you talking about serum K level.If yes sure LOW. we call hypokalemia.Sever vomiting and diarrhea is one of the reason to develop this condition. 25 must hear wrong from his doctor,another common reason develop hypokalemia is diabetic ketoacidosis.
