Diabetic Ketoacidosis Diagnosis and Tests: Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is an acute, life threatening diabetes complication from high blood glucose levels that are left untreated. Patient history, physical exam, signs and symptoms are part of a ketoacidosis diagnosis, but blood tests that measure blood sugar, ketone level, and blood acidity will validate the diagnosis. The best way to prevent diabetic ketoacidosis is regular testing of blood sugar with a blood glucose meter or blood sugar monitor.
