Warm and flushed skin in diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is primarily due to dehydration and the body's response to high blood glucose levels. The elevated blood glucose leads to osmotic diuresis, causing significant fluid loss and resulting in dehydration, which can cause the skin to appear warmer and flushed. Additionally, metabolic acidosis can lead to vasodilation, further contributing to the flushed appearance. This combination of factors reflects the body's attempts to manage the stress of the severe metabolic disturbance.
