Diabetes Ketoacidosis PPT Summary
- Diabetes Ketoacidosis (DKA) develops when the body cannot produce enough insulin and starts breaking down fats for energy, leading to the buildup of ketones.
- DKA is most commonly seen in people with type 1 diabetes, but it can also occur in people with type 2 diabetes.
- The symptoms of DKA include excessive thirst, frequent urination, nausea and vomiting, abdominal pain, confusion, and fruity-smelling breath.
- If left untreated, DKA can lead to severe dehydration, coma, and even death.
- DKA treatment involves closely monitoring blood glucose levels, hydration with fluids, insulin therapy, and electrolyte replacement.
- Prevention of DKA involves proper management of diabetes through regular monitoring of blood glucose levels, taking insulin as prescribed, and seeking medical attention if symptoms of DKA develop.
