Nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and shortness of breath; these are the classical signs of a diabetic ketoacidosis.
Increased thirst, urination and increased intake with weight loss
FIRST, IN MEDICINE, DIFFERENT PEOPLE SHOW SIGNS IN DIFFERENT WAYS. IN GENERAL THOUGH, THE MAIN DIABETIC EMERGENCY IS DKA-DIABETIC KETOACIDOSIS, A VICIOUS CYCLE OF ELEVATED BLOOD SUGAR, LEADING TO VOMITING AND DEHYDRATION, AND THE FORMATION OF BLOO KETOACIDS. PATIENTS WITH THIS WILL APPEAR VERY ILL, WILL BE VOMITING, LOOK AND FEEL DEHYDRATED. THEY NEED HOSPITALIZATION
Lethargy, abdominal pain, vomiting. Thirst urinating a lot. Type 1 diabetics need good control. So visits to your physician are important.
