DKA, or diabetic ketoacidosis, is a health complication which generally appears when somebody with diabetes contacts a viral infection. Statistically, this illness is more commonly encountered in people with type 1 diabetes.
Diabetic ketoacidosis affects your body’s ability to manage and eliminate fluids, as well as electrolytes. These two functions are crucial to avoid sepsis, a diagnosis made when an organ is damaged by internal infections.
Unfortunately, specialists have noticed that some COVID-19 patients with diabetes experienced sepsis or even septic shock while battling the infection.
ATTENTION! When DKA is left untreated, it can ultimately lead to septic shock – a life-threatening condition that lowers your blood pressure drastically and might cause heart failure, stroke or organ failure. If you experience the symptoms listed below please contact your doctor immediately:
