Background: The appropriate and timely management of diabetes-related ketoacidosis (DKA) has important implications for patient outcomes. Despite the availability of national management guidelines to promote standardised care, we do not know if there are differences in DKA outcomes and complications between hospitals.Aim: To assess for differences in DKA outcomes and treatment complications between hospitals.Methods: This retrospec...

Introduction: Joint British Diabetes Societies Inpatient (JBDS-IP) recommended reducing fixed-rate intravenous insulin infusion (FRIII) rate to 0.05units/kg/hr when blood glucose falls <14 mmol/l to avoid hypoglycaemia during diabetes-related ketoacidosis (DKA).Aim: We studied the impact of guideline change on complications and outcomes of DKA.Methods: We included all DKA episo...

Background: Although SGLT2 inhibitors (SGLT2-i) have revolutionised the management of diabetes, they are associated with an increased risk of developing diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). However, there remains a paucity of evidence about the risk factors, management, and outcomes of DKA episodes associated with SGLT2-i therapy. Improved understanding of these factors in order to optimise education, minimise risk, and improve outcomes of DKA episodes in individuals receiving SGLT2-i...
