Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is an acute complication of hyperglycemic crisis in patients with diabetes. It's a life-threatening complication that's most common in patients with type 1 diabetes and is sometimes the first evidence of the disease.
It may result from infection, illness, surgery, stress or insufficient or absent insulin.

DKA is a very serious issue that I think needs to be address immediately! Although it is great we know alot about the condition I think patient education should be the main focus here
This sounds very serious! I have never heard about this before either, will have to do some research.
