Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a serious complication of diabetes that can be life-threatening. DKA is most common among people with type 1 diabetes. People with type 2 diabetes can also develop DKA.
DKA develops when your body doesn’t have enough insulin to allow blood sugar into your cells for use as energy. Instead, your liver breaks down fat for fuel, a process that produces acids called ketones. When too many ketones are produced too fast, they can build up to dangerous levels in your body.
Read on to learn more about DKA, how you can prevent DKA, and how to treat it if needed.
DKA Signs and Symptoms
DKA usually develops slowly. Early symptoms include:
Being very thirsty.
Urinating a lot more than usual.
If untreated, more severe symptoms can appear quickly, such as:
Fast, deep breathing.
Dry skin and mouth.
Flushed face.
Fruity-smelling breath.
Headache.
Muscle stiffness or aches.
Being very tired.
Nausea and vomiting.
Stomach pain.
Sometimes DKA is the first sign of diabetes in people who haven’t yet been diagnosed.
Causes of DKA
Very high blood sugar and low insulin levels lead to DKA. The two most common causes are:
Illness. When you get sick, you may not be able to eat or drink as much as usual, which can make blood sugar levels hard to manage.
Missing insulin shots, a clogged insulin pump, or the wrong insulin dose.
Other causes of DKA include:
Heart attack or stroke.
Physical injury, such as from a car accident.
Alcohol or drug use.
Certain medicines, such as some diuretics (water pills) and corticosteroids (used to treat inflammation in the body).
