10 Ketoacidosis Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #5: Frequent Urination
If the body cannot lower its blood sugar levels using insulin, such as is the case with diabetes, then the body will try to find other ways to reduce it. One such way is to try and remove sugar directly by passing it out of the body. One way to achieve this is through our urine.
As such, patients with ketoacidosis will urinate more often than usual. Diabetics will generally urinate frequently anyway, so the symptom might not always be evident to begin with. If you do notice any unexplained changes in your urinary habits then you should arrange to speak with a medical professional.
