If hyperglycemia is left untreated, it can lead to ketoacidosis.
People hyperventilate when they breathe too quickly and shallowly, which can lead to an imbalance of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the body. Common causes of hyperventilation include anxiety, panic attacks, stress, and certain medical conditions such as asthma or heart problems.
To breathe excessively.
It speeds up.
Diabetic ketoacidosis is caused by lack of insulin, and is generally triggered by some other body insult including dehydration, fasting, illness or infection. Once ketoacidosis begins in earnest, it causes itself to get worse. All of its symptoms are also causes of further problems, so it will generally continue to advance until treatment or death. More details on the mechanism of how ketoacidosis begins are available on the wikipedia link below. Ketoacidosis is often associated with hyperglycemia (high blood sugar), but hyperglycemia won't actually cause Ketoacidosis. They are both caused by shortage of insulin.
