- This video covers the basic pathophysiology that leads to Diabetic Ketoacidosis using easy-to-follow animations/cartoons. Includes: how insufficient insulin levels lead to hypoglycemia, high urine output and thirst, hypothermia, metabolic acidosis, and cardiac dysthymia.
Aimed at healthcare students and professionals aiming who are new to the topic or trying to get themselves reacquainted with the basics. The video aims to use simple fun graphics to produce a memorable and easy-to-follow explanation of what can be a daunting subject. Happy learning!
This is absolutely brilliant… just doing some revision as a clinician and for some reason DKA is one of the things I’ve always struggled to get my head around but this has made it so easy to understand!! Thank you!!
Glad it was helpful! :)
It's suppperr helpful
It's 1am and I had a blast watching your video! Thank you so much from a tired medical student :)!
Glad you liked it! Hope you've had a chance to get some sleep since!
Beautiful! Managed a patient with DKA earlier today, needed a quick, simply refresher on the pathophysiology of DKA.
glad it was helpful! Hope your patient was ok.
Brilliant! And even if you saved only one person with your explanation it is worthwhile…. I would like to thank you 🙏 from the bottom of my heart 💜… I am so grateful that there’s people like you 😊
what a kind comment, very glad you like the video :)
After watching this I'm a little scared but a lot more wiser. Thanks!
Many thanks! at least your only a little bit scared ;)
Your voice calms me down thank you sir❤❤❤
My pleasure 😊
Watched your Starling Mechanism video, ended up watching many others and finally subscribing the channel. Great stuff! :)
Awesome, thank you!
Amazing!!
But you deserve more views, likes, subscriptions!!
So much Underrated!😢
Hope for the best! 🌻
Many thanks, appreciate the support ;)
A lot to be said for “over simplification”. I will be following these.
excellent :)
Well done Dan! Glucagon' face cracks me up 😆
thank's Greta, I aim to please :)
The best DKA video!

Thank you for helping me finally understand DKA!
happy to help :)
This is the best explanation,,👏thank you
You are welcome!
Thank you! Nice video
Glad you liked it!
This is simply amazing !!!
your too kind ;)
Does DKA affect type 2 diabetes patients?
very rarely, their pancreas normally produces enough insulin to prevent things getting quite that bad.
Yes. I know one T2D person who died of it and another who went into a coma. You can become so insulin resistant that it’s like not having insulin at all.
I needed this refresher! My patient was in dka and I needed to understand the patho i looked for an animation this was so helpful!
glad it was useful! :)
This happened to my roommate over the weekend. I knew he wasn't monitoring his glucose and he was eating candy. He kept insisting he wasn't diabetic despite having a 200 fasting glucose. Friday night he started shaking and I called an ambulance. His glucose was 318 and he had a fever. I took him to Urgent care on Saturday and his urine was acidic with glucose and protein but no ketones. Saturday night he started vomiting non-stop through the rest of the weekend. Tuesday his vomit was black. His skin was turning dark red. I called an ambulance again and this time he was admitted to the ICU with DKA. His potassium was very low and they have him on an insulin drip.
that sounds very stressful! I hope he makes a good recovery.
Awesome video!! Thank you!!
Glad you liked it!
This was great thank you

At first, it sounds like Ketones are good, then are really bad! But how do Ketones work on the Carnivore diet??? Or even just starving, Aren't they bad being the same thing??
ketones are bad when they build up in the blood to the point where the body can't buffer them (compensate). People in starvation have been known to develop a metabolic acidosis due to ketone build up.
I have type 2 All I saw was that this affects type 1 or a lack of insulin My understanding of type 2 is that insulin is less effective because in type 2 you produce too much? can a person with type 2 get DKA?
In type 2 the body becomes less receptive to the effects of insulin (insulin resistant). It is unusual for a suffer of type 2 to get DKA, but not unheard of.
Does anybody know if Tim made it to the hospital?
Lets hope he's ok ;)
is these acidosis thw cause of odor?
supoosedly its the ketones that have a slightly sweet smell. There meant to taste a it metallic as well...
I’m t2 and have just had DKA, I know that’s rare but I was in hospital for 4 days, the hospital said I wasn’t producing ANY insulin which surprised me since I had been fasting for 18hours a day and eating a very low carb diet one meal a day; I’d misplaced my blood testing kit but was convinced I was ok following a low carb diet, eating healthily; however I went to my nieces 18th birthday and I had some drinks, and the following morning I could not get out of bed, or rather it took me five attempts; I seemed to have huge vertigo and struggled to walk straight, feeling really dizzy; I took decongestants and treated it like a cold; I had been on medications for T2 diabetes 5-6 years ago but decided to eschew medications as diet alone seemed to be working and reversing the diabetes
My question is has this DKR undone everything? Will I have to be on insulin forever and am I T 1 diabetic now? The hospital didn’t say this and still call me a T2 diabetic, but how can I be if my pancreas isn’t producing insulin?
@GloryCarrie22 Sorry to hear your having such a hard time. I can't be sure about what is happening in your particular case but some general points would.
-To the best of my knowledge DKA can't cause you to become T1. It is often one of the first signs someone has developed t1.
-Insulin is normally secreted in response to glucose/carbs in the blood, so fasting won't encourage your pancreas to secrete insulin, although it can make your cells more sensitive to the insulin you do produce.
- When were ill our bodies demand for insulin can go up. A problem if our pancreas is struggling too secrete.
Sorry, this isn't really an answer to your question but hopefully helpful information.
@@thehumanbodyoversimplified5381 thank you for this it certainly answers some questions, but I’m concerned my pancreas won’t produce any more insulin ever, is this what will happen? Can the pancreas start producing insulin again?
@@GloryCarrier22 im afraid you'd need to talk to your doctor.
3:35 Just to make sure, does the high concentration of glucose get urinated out with all the excess fluid?
the amount of glucose lost through the urine will be relatively small and won't do much to reduce blood sugars.
@@thehumanbodyoversimplified5381 , thank you for the clarification. I'd also like to say your video is very informative and easy to understand, and I believe your series should be preserved for posterity.
Many thanks ;)@@pingislife2653
👌
almost died twice to this while being 27 and perfectly healthy before. its not a joke guys
I literally just lost my husband on 02/13/24 from this his autposy just came back.
I'm very sorry to hear that. It can be a really terrible condition.
I lost my son 10-17-24 from this as well. Sorry for your loss. I feel your pain. This information should be mandatory for type 1 diabetics and revisited constantly.

what a brilliant video
glad it was helpful :)
I'm a qualified doctor from South Africa and this is the first time I understand the DKA physiology without cramming anything
Thanks...
I'm subscribing for sure
glad it was so helpful!
Truly OVERSIMPLIFIED
many thanks ;)
Brilliant need more videos❤🎉
some of this animation makes me laugh but helps me visualized and remember so much better
glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much !
your very welcome :)
This is an informative yet simple explanation of DKA that makes it easy to understand, good work! I’m T1D and have been in DKA before and I can confirm, it SUCKS. Feels like you’re dying (because in a way you are); I don’t recommend!
glad you enjoyed the video!
I just went through this. Thank you for a easy to understand explanation.
You're very welcome!
So did Tim make it? The ending wasn't very good
I haven't heard from him lately, I'm not sure!
@@thehumanbodyoversimplified5381 that's a tragedy. I felt a bond with Tim
lol@@ngarza1214
I have found it very useful thanks 👍
Glad it was helpful!
Would Tim be better to forget to eat his breakfast if he forgot his insulin?..great presentation!
I guess potetnaily, not eating breakfast might reduce the amount of glucose in his blood. No sure it would do much to stop the progression of DKA though. Glad you liked the video!
SUBSCRIBED 100x! Tim I hope you're ok lol
fingers crossed he'll pull through! ;)
I mean, you had the time to explain what will happen to Tim but never tried to help him get his insulin!
True, I did kind of sacrifice Tim to provide a useful example of DKA..... I'll try not to dwell on it ;)
@@thehumanbodyoversimplified5381 thanks. You did well with this video! Appreciate it. All the best to you. And to Tim :)
many thanks!
Thanks alot Dan..this is sneha...
Thanks Sneha :) ...this is Dan....
Perfect, thank you
You're welcome!
Excellent.
Many thanks!
@@thehumanbodyoversimplified5381 Can you make one that explains how chronic elevated insulin disrupts the conversion of testosterone into estrogen in females?
Thank you very much for this simple but brilliant video.
Glad it was helpful!
beautiful
Thanks :)
