but HbA1c was close to normal, only 6.1%. If Xiao Wang doesn't come to the hospital for examination in a timely manner, the consequences could be unimaginable if it continues. Especially, this disease often coexists with multiple organ dysfunction such as liver, kidney, heart, striated muscle (see knowledge base), and exocrine pancreas. Severe metabolic acidosis often leads to hyperkalemia, putting the patient's life in danger. After listening to it, Xiaoli felt scared for a while.
From the above case, we can find a keyword, which is "ketoacidosis". I believe that many diabetics are familiar with this term. Diabetes ketoacidosis is a serious disorder syndrome of glucose, fat and protein metabolism caused by insufficient insulin and inappropriate elevation of glucocorticoid. Diabetes ketoacidosis can be clinically divided into mild, moderate and severe. Only ketosis without acidosis is called diabetes ketosis. In addition to ketosis, mild to moderate acidosis is also found in mild to moderate ketosis;

Xiao Wang's case highlights the critical importance of timely medical examination for diabetics. The mention of "ketoacidosis" serves as a reminder of the severity of uncontrolled diabetes. Regular monitoring and proper care are essential in managing this condition effectively.
