Symptoms of ketoacidosis include decreased alertness, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and fruity-smelling breath. Treatment of ketoacidosis typically includes fluids and insulin, while long-term management involves changes to lifestyle and diet to keep blood sugar levels under control. Knowing the signs and symptoms of ketoacidosis and getting prompt treatment can help avoid life-threatening complications.
