What are the dangers of Ketoacidosis?

Diabetic ketoacidosis is caused by lack of insulin, and is generally triggered by some other body insult including dehydration, fasting, illness or infection. Once ketoacidosis begins in earnest, it causes itself to get worse. All of its symptoms are also causes of further problems, so it will generally continue to advance until treatment or death. More details on the mechanism of how ketoacidosis begins are available on the wikipedia link below. Ketoacidosis is often associated with hyperglycemia (high blood sugar), but hyperglycemia won't actually cause Ketoacidosis. They are both caused by shortage of insulin.

When can diabetic ketoacidosis develop in type II diabetics?

Ketoacidosis is caused primarily by shortage of insulin, combined with or triggered by one or more of: Dehydration, fasting, illness, infection, drug reactions, or high blood sugar. It usually only occurs in insulin-dependent diabetics. It often happens in the setting of poor diabetes management--not checking blood sugars, not taking insulin, eating too many sweets, etc. And this can be worsened sometimes by infection, such as the cold or the flu which can further dehydrate the person or cause aberrations in blood sugar. It's sometimes found as the first symptom of an undiagnosed diabetic. Ketoacidosis generally won't heal on its own -- it makes itself worse, usually, until death. So it's important to get to a hospital right away.
