Problem: An undiagnosed diabetic is experiencing ketoacidosis (a type of metabolic acidosis) due to a lack of insulin and a dependency to burn exclusively fats for energy. How will this patient's respiratory system compensate for the metabolic acidosis? Will the patient hyperventilate or hypoventilate? Explain how the change in respiratory rate compensates for the acid-base imbalance. Use the bicarbonate equilibrium equation in the answer.
