Impact upon pH. Both acetoacetic acid and beta-hydroxybutyric acid are acidic, and, if levels of these ketone bodies are too high, the pH of the blood drops, resulting in ketoacidosis, a complication of untreated Type I diabetes, and sometimes in end stage Type II (see diabetic ketoacidosis).
Ketone bodies are acids made when your body begins using fat instead of carbohydrates for energy. When there is not enough insulin to get sugar from the blood and into the cells, the body turns to fat for energy. When fat is broken down, ketone bodies are made and can accumulate in the body.High levels of ketones are toxic to the body. The condition is called ketoacidosis.Ketones are most likely to show up when there is not enough insulin in the body.This can happen if people who have type 1 diabetes donât take insulin or donât take enough to meet higher demands, such as during illness or stress, or when a pump gets clogged or unattached.etones are most likely to show up when there is not enough insulin in the body.
