Sometimes diabetic ketoacidosis is how insulin dependent diabetics learn they have diabetes. The first patient I had with it was a child. I was absolutely shocked to learn before we understood insulin that child would have died and there was nothing which could be done to prevent it. Shocked. Next I was saddened to think of all the parents who lost a child to diabetic ketoacidosis over the millennia because now it is rarely fatal with timely diagnosis and treatment.
Moronic scientists.
