Ketoacidosis (Diabetic
ketoacidosis, or DKA)
Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a serious
condition in which extremely high glucose
and a severe lack of insulin cause the body to
break down fat for energy. e breakdown of
fat releases ketones into the blood and urine.
DKA can take hours or days to develop, with
symptoms that include stomach pain, nausea,
vomiting, fruity breath odour and rapid
breathing.
Ketones Acidic by-products that result from the
breakdown of fat for energy. e presence of
ketones indicates that the body is using stored fat
(instead of glucose) for energy.
