" Imperial was admitted in severe DKA with pH 6.9, glucose of 27, ketones reached 3 + on his urine dip"

What is the normal pH level in this context?
 
If I recall correctly, Arterial blood pH is buffered at about 7.41
 
Certainly 27 somethings!
I hate when units get left off diagnoses, it just confuses us!
