Treatment is to replenish energy, suspend the continued breakdown of body fat and other substances ketosis can be treated, there are two methods of energy replenishment, one is to eat immediately, the other can not eat intravenous rehydration infusion of glucose. The other is diabetic ketosis, diabetic patients because of insulin deficiency or insulin resistance, resulting in blood glucose metabolism disorder body can not effectively use glucose for energy metabolism, can only carry out fat decomposition to ensure the body’s energy needs, this process will produce a large number of ketone bodies, more than the liver’s metabolic capacity excess part will be excreted from the urine, resulting in urinary ketone body positive phenomenon. The presence of ketone bodies in the urine of diabetic patients is an acute complication of diabetes and needs to be treated by a doctor. Clinically, adequate insulin and fluids should be supplemented and changes in the condition should be closely observed.
