Wow, that article is wild. For those who are not aware, ketoacidosis is when your body metabolizes fat for energy in the absence of insulin. This produces byproducts (keytone bodies) that raise the pH of the blood.
So, having ketoacidosis feels like having your blood turn to acid. Death from ketoacidosis is an excruciating death. Fermenting from the inside out as your heart pumps your increasingly acidic blood through your entire body. You're technically starving, so you're hungry, but at the same time your body is trying to expel glucose at all costs, so everything you look at makes you sick.
Extended periods of high blood glucose and lack of insulin especially is up there as one of the most uncomfortable things I've ever experienced personally. Just unimaginable cruelty.
