Untreated diabetes mellitus results in increased urinary excretion of glucose, metabolic acidosis, and dehydration. However, it does not result in decreased levels of fatty acids in the blood. In fact, untreated diabetes can lead to increased levels of fatty acids in the blood due to a shift to fat metabolism as the body's cells cannot utilize glucose effectively.
