What is acute diabetes? possibly DKA or Honk since they are both immediately life threatening

Acute means no warnings for drop in sugar levels hard to keep control one lady I know has trained dog which tells her of level drop

"Acute" is the opposite of "chronic", so I'd be forced to conclude that he's suffering from gestational diabetes.
