Question: When the body does not have enough insulin, it cannot use glucose for energy. In response to this the body starts to breakdown fat to use as an energy source. The chemical by-product of this process starts to build up in the blood, making it acidic. The body will then try to get rid of the glucose and chemical by-product in order to maintain homeostasis, creating a cascade of complications that if left untreated results in death. This is most likely to occur in a person with Type 1 diabetes. a. Identify this life-threatening condition. b. State three (3) symptoms of the condition you have identified. c. Identify two (2) immediate clinical interventions for this condition.
