Subject 30926 I'm not a doctor, don't even play one on TV, but as I understand it, blood sugar levels in diabetic ketoacidosis are typically in the 400 to 800 mg/dL, which is sky high - I've never had higher than 200 and that was only two or three times - usually post prandial in the range of 140, and fasting less than 120.
