diabetic acidosis
Diabetic acidosis, also known as diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), is a dangerous complication of diabetes that occurs when blood sugar levels become extremely high due to insufficient insulin. This condition leads to the production of ketones, resulting in increased acidity in the blood and potentially leading to serious health consequences if left untreated.
