Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA, a complication of poorly controlled diabetes)

Occurs when there is not enough circulating insulin. This lack of insulin causes elevated glucose levels in the blood and forces the body to breakdown body fats for energy. This results in a buildup of ketones. The increased ketones increases the acidity of the blood and when severe can result in coma and death. This disorder is also called diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and is most often associated with diabetes type 1. The most common causes of DKA are not taking the correct amounts of insulin and a secondary stress to the body such as an infection, surgery or trauma.
