This document discusses the pathophysiology of insulin deficiency. Without insulin, glucose cannot be absorbed by muscles and the liver, leading to high blood sugar levels. The body responds by excreting water and electrolytes through increased urination. Fat stores are also broken down and used as energy, resulting in a buildup of ketones in the blood and urine.
