Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a serious complication of type 1 diabetes and sometimes type 2 diabetes, characterized by high blood sugar levels (hyperglycemia) and the buildup of ketones in the body. Ketones are products of the breakdown of fats in the abscense of insulin to use glucose for energy. DKA develops when blood glucose levels are too high and the body begins to break down fat for energy, leading to a buildup of ketones in the blood and urine. This can cause a number of serious symptoms, including extreme thirst, frequent urination, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, confusion, shortness of breath, and in severe cases, even coma. Treatment of diabetic ketoacidosis involves administration of insulin to correct blood sugar levels, as well as rehydration and correction of electrolyte imbalances. CAD is a medical emergency that requires immediate medical attention in a hospital
