   The most common cause of ketoacidosis is a deficiency of insulin in type 1 diabetes or late-stage type 2 diabetes. This is called diabetic ketoacidosis and is characterized by hyperglycemia, dehydration and metabolic acidosis. Other electrolyte disturbances such as hyperkalemia and hyponatremia may also be present.

   Ketoacidosis is most commonly the result of complete insulin deficiency in type 1 diabetes or late-stage type 2 diabetes. Ketone levels can be measured in blood, urine or breath and are generally between 0.5 and 3.0 millimolar (mM) in physiological ketosis, while ketoacidosis may cause blood concentrations greater than 10 mM.

   This would send the simulated virtual person with diabetes ('Joy Wilson' [pseudonym]) markedly hyperglycemic in the afternoon (with a predicted blood glucose level of 18.8 mmol/L [338 mg/dL] at 2:30pm) — and leave her at significant risk of developing diabetic ketoacidosis. The simulated blood glucose profile is shown in the upper graph, and ...
