If someone suspects they may have ketoacidosis, they should contact emergency services right away as it is a medical emergency.
In most cases, people with ketoacidosis have sweet, strong-smelling urine. Ketoacidosis can develop within 24 hours of having consistently high blood glucose levels, called hyperglycemia.
Having a small number of ketones in the bloodstream is normal, especially for people who exercise a lot or do other activities that encourage the body to burn fat. However, if a person with diabetes does not control their condition, a dangerously high level of ketones can build in their blood.
Individuals with diabetes may have blood ketones that are extremely high. The excretion of these by the body can give urine a popcorn-like smell. When a person enters ketosis, their blood or urine contains a high concentration of ketones.
It is possible to measure urinary ketones using ketone strips, which are available in drugstores or online.
