Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA)

Ningombam Rabita Devi

Abstract :

 Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a dangerous complication faced by people with diabetes which happens when the body starts running out of insulin.

DKA is most commonly associated with type 1 diabetes, however, people with type 2 diabetes that produce very little of their own insulin may also be affected.

Ketoacidosis is a serious short term complication which can result in coma or even death if it is not treated quickly.
