Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA)

Diabetic ketoacidosis, also abbreviated to DKA, is a condition that can occur if the body lacks sufficient insulin. DKA is a serious condition which can lead to coma and death if it is not treated. The NHS reports that around half of hospital admissions for people with type 1 diabetes are a result of ketoacidosis.
The NHS states that diabetic ketoacidosis is most commonly associated with type 1 diabetes.
Because people with type 1 diabetes produce at most, very small quantities of insulin, it means they are more susceptible to ketoacidosis. Ketoacidosis in type 2 diabetes is less common but can also occur.

    My wife goes silvery blue & has weird red blotches on her legs & gasps for breath urinates every few minutes… All the usual symptoms of ketoacidosis but thinks I’m mean for hiding her cereal & Milk & carbs.
    Don’t know how much longer she’ll live refusing doctors or insulin…
