Its seems to run rampant in hospitals and other healthcare facilities this time of the year.

Most likely bicarb loss through diarrhea. I also have type 1 diabetes and has to suspend my insulin pump during that illness to maintain my blood sugar high enough, so I developed some ketones as well (but was not considered to be in DKA), which are aciditic. I was started on dextrose so I could take insulin and quickly cleared the ketones then.
