Today a friend called me saying they had ketoacidosis, but I felt too embarrassed to ask about the symptoms. May I ask what are the symptoms of ketoacidosis?

Symptoms of ketone poisoning may include gastrointestinal, respiratory, and neurological manifestations. It is recommended to seek timely medical attention in the emergency department or endocrinology clinic, where targeted medication treatments—such as rapid-acting insulin injections—can be administered under a physician's guidance. Additionally, metabolic disturbances in proteins, glucose, fats, and other nutrients can lead to a series of gastrointestinal symptoms.
