[QUOTE="LittleGreyCat, post: 2314771, member: 6467"] Could also be T2 with stratospheric insulin resistance. DKA is a sign that there is not enough insulin to clear the glucose from the blood. As I understand it this is either due to very low insulin or very high IR. In either case the body takes emergency measures and switches over to running on ketones. I think T2s are also diagnosed via DKA at times - however I think this is most often linked to obesity and very high insulin levels. [Note to self: DKA must also mean that the body is unable to use the ketones for energy and absorb them into the cells. Must check further.] [/QUOTE]
