diabetic acidosis
Diabetic acidosis, also known as diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), is a serious complication of diabetes that occurs when the body produces high levels of blood acids called ketones. It develops when your body is unable to produce enough insulin, which plays a major role in helping sugar enter cells, leading to cells using fat as fuel and producing ketones. High levels of ketones can poison the body, leading to diabetic acidosis. Symptoms may include a dry or flushed skin, nausea or vomiting, abdominal pain, deep and rapid breathing, confusion, fatigue, and a fruity breath odor, among others. If not treated promptly, it can result in loss of consciousness or even death.
