8. Diabetic Ketoacidosis
Diabetic Ketoacidosis, or DKA, is a potentially fatal condition affecting people with diabetes. It results in the blood becoming too acidic when the liver breaks fats down too quickly and makes too much blood sugar. The excess blood sugar can't get into the cells to provide fuel for the body.8‘Diabetic Ketoacidosis: MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia.’ MedlinePlus, medlineplus.gov/ency/article/000320.htm.
Tachypnea can be the first symptom of diabetic ketoacidosis or it might occur at a later stage of the condition. Other symptoms that may occur include dehydration, a flushed face and headaches.
