A member asked:
I suspect my daughter is abusing alcohol and ativan. she is a type i diabetic. how can i tell difference between dka and alcohol/benzo abuse?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Difference: I could see where symptoms of withdrawl and DKA could be confused. Differentiating clinically could be difficult. Often people with DKA smell "fuity" and I would expect there blood sugar to be elevated.
