Diabetic Ketoacidosis is one of the acute complications of Diabetes, and it is also the one which can cause coma and even death, therefore, it is important to discover the disease as early as possible.

Li Jie (assumed name) is one of the patients who have been treated in Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital by stem cells. His experience was similar with other patients who have got Diabetes, because he also searched for help and effective treatment for a long time. However, he was different from other patients in some degree.

Even though he got the Diabetic Ketoacidosis in 2010, he did not know the disease at all, nor do his doctors. At the very beginning, he felt pain in his stomach accompanied with sour regurgitation and weakness; meanwhile, he had other symptoms of Diabetes. The doctors in local hospital told him that was because ulcer in the stomach, but the medicine was not effective after being taken for three days.

Later, he could not sleep in the night, and had been irritable and indifferent to others.

Five days later, Li Jie did a systemic check in the comprehensive hotel in his province and was told he has got Diabetic Ketoacidosis.

After such a process, Li Jie was depressed and lost hope for the treatment. But as we know, the Diabetic Ketoacidosis must be treated in time, if not, the disease can be life-threatening. His family helped him found our hospital for the stem cell treatment.

The doctors gave him general treatment for several days to control his Diabetes, after that, he was given the stem cell transplantation and was told to notice the diet and exercise. During the month he stayed in our hospital, he lived a regular life and was constantly treated by the characteristic therapy. And his Diabetic Ketoacidosis did not attack him again in one month. Two months later, his blood sugar tended to be normal, and he stopped injecting insulin later.
