Do diabetics need to drink water when they spill Ketones?
A diabetic with keytones is an unregulated diabetic, therefore high bg numbers. You need to adjust your insulin dose. Unregulated diabetics will constantly want water and food. Keytones are an acid that remains in the body after the body has burned it's own fat because it can't get enough glucose from the blood to use as energy. Insulin is required to metabolise sugar (primary source of fuel for the body).In a diabetic this is lacking or non-existent. Therefore the body turns to burning it's own fat for fuel, resulting in keytones. Need to seek medical advice immediately. Keytones can lead to Ketoacidiosis, which can lead to coma and even death. Drinking water actually helps a little, but still need medical attention.
