Quick clarification. It is hard to get into DKA unless you are type 1 or if you SHOULD be on insulin (for your current lifestyle, anyway). The primary treatment for DKA is the administration of insulin and fluids (usually with electrolytes). In fact, before the availability of insulin, DKA was almost always fatal. Sometimes DKA is actually the first sign that someone is diabetic, so they aren't on insulin when it happens. |
