The most common abnormal substituent in the blood of a diabetic is a large amount of glucose. While glucose is normally in the blood (around 80-100 mg/dL), diabetics lack the hormone insulin which promotes glucose absorption into the cells. As a result, the glucose remains in the blood and is excreted through the urine due to the inability for the glomerular filtration membrane to weed out the massive amount coming through.

Basically, Diabetic Ketoacidosis happens when there is not enough insulin in the body in order for glucose to be broken down into energy for the cells to use.

Ketones build up in the blood stream and makes the environment acidic which will eventually be fatal to the body.
