What is DKA? š¤
Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) happens when your body doesnāt have enough insulin, so it starts breaking down fat for fuel. This creates ketones, which can build up in the blood and become dangerous if levels get too high.
Save this post to reference when checking your ketones and also for a reminder of the symptoms to look out for.
If ketones are high and you feel unwell, seek medical help ASAP. Early action can prevent a serious emergency. š
