Yes, it is possible to experience ketoacidosis while being hypoglycemic, although it is uncommon. Ketoacidosis typically occurs in individuals with uncontrolled Diabetes, particularly type 1 diabetes, where the body produces high levels of ketones due to a lack of insulin. In rare cases, prolonged fasting or a severe lack of carbohydrates can lead to both ketone production and low blood glucose levels, resulting in a paradoxical state of hypoglycemia alongside ketoacidosis. However, this scenario is unusual, as ketoacidosis is generally associated with high blood sugar levels.
