Diabetic ketoacidosis - Prevention
Diabetics should learn to recognize the early warning signs and symptoms of ketoacidosis. Measurement of urine ketones in people with infections or people on insulin pump therapy can give more information than glucose measurements alone. Insulin pump users need to frequently check to see that insulin is still flowing through the tubing, and that no blockages, kinks, or disconnections have occurred.
