[Abstract]
Although ketoacidosis has traditionally been regarded as a complication occurring only in conjunction with type I diabetes, there have recently been reports of its occurrence in cases of type II diabetes, e.g. in Afro-American and Japanese patients. The article reports a few cases suggesting that ketoacidosis may not be a rare phenomenon even in Swedish type II diabetes patients. This severe complication is usually precipitated by the occurrence of other concomitant disease.
