Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a<unk>  emergency. The mainstay of therapy for DKA is<unk>  therapy including intravenous insulin, fluids, potassium replacement and bicarbonate therapy in case of severe acidosis (pH <6.9). The basic principles guiding therapy include rapid restoration of adequate circulation and perfusion, insulin to reverse ketosis and lower glucose levels, and close monitoring to prevent and treat complications if they develop. There are minor differences in the management of DKA in U.S.A. and U.K. which are opinion based and depend on the healthcare setting.
