Rationale: Diabetes mellitus can lead to metabolic acidosis. When the body does not have suffi-cient circulating insulin, the blood glucose level rises while the cells of the body use all available glucose and then break down glycogen and fat for fuel. The by-products of fat metabolism are acidotic, leading to the complication called diabetic ketoacidosis.
