Background: DKA is traditionally treated with fluid resuscitation, electrolyte replacement, and intravenous infusions of insulin. However, it is unclear if all degrees (mild, moderate, severe) of DKA require the same intensive treatment. Mild to moderate DKA represents a subgroup of patients that often require admission to the ICU due to hospital policies not allowing insulin infusions outside of this clinical setting.
