Diabetic ketoacidosisDiabetes mellitusInsulinPurpose: Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a rare and life-threatening complication in patients with diabetes. Sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) have rarely been associated with ketoacidosis. The aim of this retrospective study was to investigate...
Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is the most common acute hyperglycaemic emergency in people with diabetes mellitus. A diagnosis of DKA is confirmed when all of the three criteria are present —‘D’, either elevated blood glucose levels or a family history of diabetes mellitus; ‘K’, the presence...
If you don’t get medical help in time, DKA can be life-threatening. Symptoms of DKA often build up slowly, so it’s important to know the warning signs, as it can usually be prevented and treated if discovered early. Ketoacidosis blood sugar levels ...
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 ...
Diabetic ketoacidosis is an emergency medical condition that can be life-threatening if not treated properly. Diabetic ketoacidosis occurs most often in patients with type 1 diabetes (formerly called insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus); however, its occurrence in patients with type 2 diabetes (formerly...
DKA is very serious in that it can induce a coma or cause death if it is not treated immediately. Pulmonary edema and cerebral edema are two critical conditions that can result from DKA if left untreated. What is ketoacidosis and why does it happen?

Diabetic ketoacidosis needs to be treated with several approaches at the same time. The aim is to normalize blood pH, while slowly lowering blood sugar levels, and normalizing all of theelectrolytes. This is usually accomplished by giving insulin to the patient as well as electrolyte fluids (such...
When the accumulated ketones exceed the body's capacity to extract them, they overflow into urine (ie, ketonuria). If the situation is not treated promptly, a greater accumulation of organic acids leads to frank clinical metabolic acidosis (ie, ketoacidosis), with a significant drop in pH and...
Diabetic ketoacidosis must be treated aggressively. The emergency management of diabetic ketoacidosis requires that life-threatening problems be identified and treated quickly because the mortality rate is extremely high without proper treatment. Hypoglycemia ...
