Diabetic ketoacidosis is also associated with some other complications, such as sepsis, myocardial infarction (heart attack), erosive gastritis, acute gastric dilatation, urinary tract infection, late hypoglycemia, cerebrovascular accident (stroke), and deep vein thrombosis (DVT).

The researchers involved in this study have also suggested that either the diabetic ketoacidosis or the treatment used may have led to neuronal insult that affects acute and long-term cognitive deficits.
