When you have DKA it causes you to have low potassium another symptom of low potassium is breathlessness as I have had DKA several times and each time it has been severe and I always feel breathless with it

I've had several really bad DKA, the last one I was in Hospital for a whole month, I have on several of these now had the opposite problem of having very very HIGH Potassium levels, it isn't much fun,
