If your blood sugar is over 240 mg/dL, you should check your ketones using a urine ketone test or a glucometer (blood ketone test) every 4-6 hours. Ketoacidosis is generally considered to start at 250 mg/dL. Talk to your doctor if your blood sugar level is outside of your target ra...
What is diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA)?DKA is a life-threatening condition caused by dangerously high blood sugar levels. Your blood sugar levels become high because your body does not have enough insulin. Insulin helps move sugar out of the blood so it can be used for energy. The lack of ...

optimal rate of glucose decline is 100 mg/dL/hour. Do not allow the blood glucose level to fall below 200 mg/dL during the first four to five hours of treatment. Hypoglycemia may develop rapidly with the correction of ketoacidosis due to improved insulin sensitivity (Hamdy & Khardori, 2021...
Thus, insulin dosage reduction requires caution in order to control blood glucose level on combined treatment of SGLT2 inhibitor in a patient who is administering insulin because the patient may be caused ketoacidosis in normal blood glucose level. 展开 ...
