| | Our approach is to withhold bicarbonate in patients who appear to respond to standard therapy, no matter what their initial pH. | | | No studies have specifically addressed how long patients should remain hospitalized, but a rational decision can be made on the basis of physiologic considerations. | | | This change is a result of many factors, including more frequent home blood glucose monitoring, improved intensive care management, better prevention, and early treatment. |

| | A condition called ketoacidosis develops when the blood is more acidic than body tissues. | | | If the child is in a state of shock (hypotension, poor peripheral circulation, semi-comatose) resuscitation should be initiated with boluses of 10-15 ml/kg of 0.9% isotonic saline plus 5 % human albumin and repeated until an adequate circulation is achieved. | | | The major treatment of this condition is initial rehydration (using isotonic saline) with subsequent potassium replacement and low-dose insulin therapy. |

| | Age- and sex-specific incidence patterns suggest that ketoacidosis is a challenge in adolescent girls while severe hypoglycemia continues to affect disproportionally the youngest patients and boys of all ages. | | | The pattern of modifiable risk factors indicates that underinsured children and those with psychiatric disorders or at the extremes of the HbA1c distribution should be targeted for specific interventions. | | | Diabetic ketoacidosis and severe hypoglycemia are acute complications of type 1 diabetes that are related, respectively, to insufficient or excessive insulin treatment. |

| | Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) -- Topic Overview |
| | If it continues to rise, you may become confused, lethargic, or unconscious. | | | Ketoacidosis can be caused by not taking enough insulin, having a severe infection or other illness, becoming severely dehydrated, or some combination of these factors. | | | Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a life-threatening condition that develops when cells in the body are unable to get the sugar (glucose) they need for energy, such as when you have diabetes and do not take enough insulin. |

| | Dietary ketosis is among the most maligned and misunderstood concepts in nutrition because it is often confused with ketoacidosis, which is a life-threatening condition most often associated with uncontrolled insulin-deficient Type 1 diabetes. | | | In the Type 1 diabetic, the absence of insulin leads to a toxic build-up of blood glucose and an extreme break-down of fat and muscle tissue. | | | When you burn a larger amount of fat than is immediately needed for energy, the excess ketones are discarded in the urine. |
