Billy is an 11-year-old boy who was admitted to hospital with dehydration. His parents said that over the last few months, he had seemed tired and lacking in energy, and that despite eating well and drinking large quantities of fluids he had lost about 7 kg (15 lbs) in weight. He also seemed to be going to the toilet frequently, not only during the day but also during the night. On examination, there was evidence of dehydration (sunken eyes, loss of tissue turgor); his pulse rate was 115 BPM, blood pressure was 95/55 mmHg, respiratory rate was 20 breaths per minute, and his breath smelled of acetone.

2. Comment on and interpret the test strip results. Are they consistent with your provisional diagnosis based on the history and physical examination findings?
