blood pressure
What is high blood pressure?
Blood pressure is really important for all of us. to know more about Blood pressure please imagine that arteries are pipes that carry blood from heart to the rest of the body. their main function is this.

Ketoacidosis is phase decompensation advanced type 1 diabetes leading to acidification of blood and the presence of derivatives of acetone in blood and urine. It causes fatigue, nausea, difficulty breathing and, without treatment coma.
