if you are a 40 year old man and you are a doctor and you have had diabeties for 20 years and always took care of your self(took shots) what are the chances of dieing from Diabetic ketoacidosis?. the better understand here is what happened my father passed away the medical examiner said it was Diabetic ketoacidosis but my father never missed a shot and plus he was a doctor. he died and my mother was next to him the who time should she of known something was wrong? would he produce signs to warn her? anyway i called the ambulance and began to do cpr and when i presed on his chest blood came out of his mouth. the medicalexaminer did not do a autopsy . should she of? i just dont understand why an autopsy was not preformed and why blood came out of his mouth and could there of been foul play involved? should i check in to it. remember hewas a doctor and most 40 year old doctor dont just die from not taking a shot espically when they havd delt wiht it for years. in my opinion please help
you don’t need an autopsy. your father died, and that’s that. he wasn’t murdered. an autopsy would have said he died from medical complications.
diabetic ketoacidosis can occur from a variety of things, including infection and heart attack. The blood coming out of his mouth could be from infection or trauma. you don’t mention what your father was doing before he passed away–was he exercising, was he sick, did he have a history of heart attack, etc.
finally, i know a lot of doctors. tehy don’t take care of themselves very well even though they know they should. in faacct, many of them are take caer of themselves poorly. it’s like the guy that works at a mcdonalds but can’t eat mcdonalds because he’s tired of being aroudn it all the time. same thing with doctors–they’re always talking about health, so when it comes to them, they don’t really bother.

My son has had diabetic acidosis two times which has nearly killed him the complications from this can cause brain swelling, heart attack, kidney failure and more. Even a diabetic that is on the top of his disease can not avoid acidosis from hitting them. It can be very quick and deadly. Both times my son had stomach viruses and was at deaths door within hours. Blood from the mouth could be easily explained and very natural after death. As for your mother not knowing it very well could have been a silent death. Not all people grab their chest for a heart attack, not all people die in pain or cry out. Be grate-full you know your father did not suffer and his death was quick. My best friends father just passed away and I stayed up all night to care for him, he slipped away with his wife at his side without a sound. It was peacefully and easy.
