Ketoacidosis

  • Diabetic Ketoacidosis is when the body has too many ketones in the blood stream.  This can be caused by not injecting enough insulin, or by a virus such as a cold.  It is very dangerous and can lead to a coma if not treated.  Ketones are released into the blood when the body burns fat for energy.
