See your doctor !: Diabetic ketoacidosis is a medical emergency and requires immediate attention. Free fluids (water) is the core component to reverse the profound dehydration and acidosis that occurs. Tip-offs for DKA are sugars that are spiralling higher, a fruity odor to the breath, and usually some change in behavior (irritability, somnolensce, etc). The keyis prevention. Don't let the horse out of the barn!
