Yes, if type 1 Diabetes is left untreated or blood sugar levels become highly elevated the body begins to produce chemicals called ketones. These Ketones will build up in the blood. This condition is called diabetic ketoacidosis. Symptoms of diabetic ketoacidosis are: * Flushed, hot, dry skin. * Loss of appetite, abdominal pain, and vomiting. * A strong, fruity breath odor(similar to nail polish remover or acetone). * Rapid, deep breathing. * Restlessness, drowsiness, difficulty waking up, confusion, or coma.
