Researchers show that using continuous glucose monitors can help measure glucose accurately during DKA and potentially prevent ICUs from being overwhelmed. Diabetic ketoacidosis is a common severe ...

To develop DKA, the patient must experience a relative insulin deficiency 4 (very little circulating insulin) in the setting of increased counter-regulatory hormone concentrations. This relative lack ...

Diabetic ketoacidosis is a common severe complication of diabetes, which develops when the body can't produce enough insulin. During DKA the body starts breaking down fat, causing a buildup of acids ...

The most important feature in all of these initial cases is that the patients did not recognize they had ketoacidosis, which is typically associated with severe hyperglycemia. As a result, instead of ...

Cannabis use should be considered in anyone with type 1 diabetes who presents with symptoms of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) but has high pH and bicarbonate levels, new research suggests. Cannabis ...

The American Diabetes Association (ADA) defines DKA as a combination of hyperglycemia with a blood glucose ≥250 mg/dL, a metabolic acidosis with bicarbonate ≤18 mEq/L, an anion gap >10, and arterial ...
