대명천지 밝은 낮에 졸음을 느껴 본적 있으신지, 월요일 아침 일찍 잠에서 깨기 어려운 적이 있으신지? 사람들은 잠을 잘 자야 한다는 것은 알고 있지만 잠이 음식이나 물, 공기처럼 우리가 살아가는데 필수적으로 꼭 필요하다고 실감하고 있는지 모르겠다. 믿어 줄 사람이 있을지 모르겠지만 잠은 역동적인 행동이다. 1950년대 까지는 잠이란 우리가 살아가는 하루 중에 일부로서 그저 수동적인 휴면 상태쯤으로 알고 있었다. 그렇지만 잠을 자는 중에도 우리의 뇌는 아주 활발하게 활동하고 있다. 더구나 잠이 우리의 일상 기능과 신체적, 정신적 건강에 다방면으로 영향을 주고 있다는 것이 알려지기 시작했다.

당뇨병환자에서 발생하는 가장 중요한 급성 합병증인 당뇨병성 케톤산증이나 고삼투성 비케톤성 혼수는 인슐린의 투여를 중단하였거나 감염, 외상 등의 신체적 손상이나 정신적 스트레스에 의하여 인슐린에 대한 길항 호르몬들이 과분비돼 발생한다. 일반적으로 당뇨병성 케톤산증은 인슐린 의존형 당뇨병환자 중 주로 젊은 층에서 자주 나타나며 병의 경과가 빠르게 진행되기 때문에 고삼투압 상태보다는 케톤산혈증이 주요 문제가 된다. 반면에 고삼투압성 비케톤성 혼수는 인슐린 비의존형 당뇨병환자 중 주로 노인층에서 호발하며 병의 경과가 서서히 진행하기 때문에 심한 고혈당 상태로 인한 고삼투압 상태가 주요 문제가 된다. 이와같은 당뇨병의 급성 대사성 합병증들은 치료가 지연되거나 적절한 치료가 행해지지 못했을 때는 예후가 극히 불량하며 사망률 또한 높은 것으로 보고되고 있다. 이에 급성 대사성 합병증 중 당뇨병성 케톤산증의 병인, 진단 및 치료 등을 알아보기로 한다.
