Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) explained with cartoons! 

This is absolutely brilliant… just doing some revision as a clinician and for some reason DKA is one of the things I’ve always struggled to get my head around but this has made it so easy to understand!! Thank you!!

I'm a qualified doctor from South Africa and this is the first time I understand the DKA physiology without cramming anything Thanks... I'm subscribing for sure

It's 1am and I had a blast watching your video! Thank you so much from a tired medical student :)!

Beautiful! Managed a patient with DKA earlier today, needed a quick, simply refresher on the pathophysiology of DKA.

Brilliant! And even if you saved only one person with your explanation it is worthwhile…. I would like to thank you 🙏 from the bottom of my heart 💜… I am so grateful that there’s people like you 😊

After watching this I'm a little scared but a lot more wiser. Thanks!

Your voice calms me down thank you sir❤❤❤

I needed this refresher! My patient was in dka and I needed to understand the patho i looked for an animation this was so helpful!

I just went through this. Thank you for a easy to understand explanation.

This is simply amazing !!!

Awesome video!! Thank you!!

Thank you very much for this simple but brilliant video.

Perfect, thank you

Thank you for helping me finally understand DKA!

Well done Dan! Glucagon' face cracks me up 😆

Watched your Starling Mechanism video, ended up watching many others and finally subscribing the channel. Great stuff! :)

This is the best explanation,,👏thank you

This is an informative yet simple explanation of DKA that makes it easy to understand, good work! I’m T1D and have been in DKA before and I can confirm, it SUCKS. Feels like you’re dying (because in a way you are); I don’t recommend!

This was great thank you

Thank you! Nice video

some of this animation makes me laugh but helps me visualized and remember so much better

The best DKA video!

A lot to be said for “over simplification”. I will be following these.

I have found it very useful thanks 👍

Amazing!! But you deserve more views, likes, subscriptions!! So much Underrated!😢 Hope for the best! 🌻

beautiful

Excellent.

Thanks alot Dan..this is sneha...

This happened to my roommate over the weekend. I knew he wasn't monitoring his glucose and he was eating candy. He kept insisting he wasn't diabetic despite having a 200 fasting glucose. Friday night he started shaking and I called an ambulance. His glucose was 318 and he had a fever. I took him to Urgent care on Saturday and his urine was acidic with glucose and protein but no ketones. Saturday night he started vomiting non-stop through the rest of the weekend. Tuesday his vomit was black. His skin was turning dark red. I called an ambulance again and this time he was admitted to the ICU with DKA. His potassium was very low and they have him on an insulin drip.

👌

Would Tim be better to forget to eat his breakfast if he forgot his insulin?..great presentation!

Does DKA affect type 2 diabetes patients?

3:35 Just to make sure, does the high concentration of glucose get urinated out with all the excess fluid?

SUBSCRIBED 100x! Tim I hope you're ok lol

I’m t2 and have just had DKA, I know that’s rare but I was in hospital for 4 days, the hospital said I wasn’t producing ANY insulin which surprised me since I had been fasting for 18hours a day and eating a very low carb diet one meal a day; I’d misplaced my blood testing kit but was convinced I was ok following a low carb diet, eating healthily; however I went to my nieces 18th birthday and I had some drinks, and the following morning I could not get out of bed, or rather it took me five attempts; I seemed to have huge vertigo and struggled to walk straight, feeling really dizzy; I took decongestants and treated it like a cold; I had been on medications for T2 diabetes 5-6 years ago but decided to eschew medications as diet alone seemed to be working and reversing the diabetes My question is has this DKR undone everything? Will I have to be on insulin forever and am I T 1 diabetic now? The hospital didn’t say this and still call me a T2 diabetic, but how can I be if my pancreas isn’t producing insulin?

is these acidosis thw cause of odor?

I have type 2 All I saw was that this affects type 1 or a lack of insulin My understanding of type 2 is that insulin is less effective because in type 2 you produce too much? can a person with type 2 get DKA?

Does anybody know if Tim made it to the hospital?

I mean, you had the time to explain what will happen to Tim but never tried to help him get his insulin!

So did Tim make it? The ending wasn't very good

almost died twice to this while being 27 and perfectly healthy before. its not a joke guys
