10 Ketoacidosis Symptoms

Symptom #6: Extreme Thirst
When we get thirsty, a glass of water or other fluids is usually just what we need. We rely on water, but thankfully there is a lot of it on our planet, meaning most of us get all the water we need. Thirst is just our body letting us know that we need to take on more of the wet stuff.
Simply having a drink to relieve thirst is not always as easy as it may sound, though. For some people, such as those with ketoacidosis, a drink will not satisfy thirst. This is because chemical balances in the blood are so out of balance that the body always feels the need to take on more water. It also helps the body to flush excess sugar.
