In order to derive energy from the carbohydrates in the foods that we eat, the body needs insulin. In the absence of sufficient insulin, the body begins to metabolize fat and produces ketones. Ketones can be very dangerous when the blood glucose level is high. If the levels of glucose and ketones in the blood keep rising, one can get very sick very quickly. The person begins to get dehydrated and acidotic: the body loses water and salts, and the pH falls with a buildup of acids, the ketones, developing diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). DKA is a dangerous and potentially life-threatening condition, with thousands of episodes each year. Most episodes of DKA are preventable. Why check blood ketones? Checking blood ketones reduces the risk of DKA. Checking the level of ketones in the blood and reacting promptly with extra insulin, fluids, and communication with the healthcare team can prevent the need for emergency treatment.
