Its worrisome : Diabetes indeed can cause diabetes ketoacidosis(DKA), however more in the setting of hyperglycemia (high blood sugar). Your sugar level of 13 is very worrisome, make sure the measuring technique is adequate, avoid skipping meals or excessive exercise, need to raise your concern to your primary physician regarding your low blood sugar.
