When a patient has early or middle stages of ketoacidosis, he or she will be flushed and have deep, rapid breaths. Once the person lapses into a coma, the breathing will become shallow, the heart rate will increase and the body will become dehydrated. Treatment for ketoacidosis generally involves an intravenous saline drip that includes potassium and other electrolytes that the body needs in order to restore balance. Always maintain blood pressure level to normal limit it is recommended that always prefer to check blood pressure level through digital blood pressure monitor before going to sleep.

Nonketotic Hyperosmolar coma (non-kE-'tät-ik hahy-per os-moh-ler)Nonketotic hypersmolar coma is similar to ketoacidosis coma, but is usually accompanied by lethargy rather than signs of a serious illness (such as vomiting). Generally, the condition involves hyperglycemia (high blood sugar levels) combined with dehydration. Diabetic should use diabetic glucose meter for testing blood sugar levels. The condition most often occurs in patients that have Type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetics often already have signs of dehydration and lethargy, which may make nonketotic hyperosmolar coma difficult to detect before the onset.

Treatment for Nonketotic hyper molar (non-kE-'tät-ik hahy-per os-moh-ler) coma involves a gradual rehydration of the body combined with insulin medications. Use blood sugar meters and test for Low Blood Sugar and avoid Diabetic Coma
