The availability of insulin has dramatically influenced the prognosis of patients with insulin-requiring diabetes. The mortality rate of patients presenting with severe diabetic ketoacidosis has fallen to 0.5–15% in the best centres. A higher figure, however, still remains in less specialised units and in elderly patients it may be as high as 50%.

Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a complex and potentially fatal metabolic disorder in patients with diabetes mellitus. An understanding of the pathophysiology of DKA is essential in order to optimize patient management. A combination of insulin deficiency, increased stress hormone levels, and volume depletion account for the laboratory abnormalities and

Recurrent Diabetic Ketoacidosis
Diabetic Medicine, 1988In a study over 15 years, 740 episodes of diabetic ketoacidosis occurred in 505 patients. A total of 113 patients had more than one episode. The majority (90%) of recurrences were within 4 years of the initial episode. Taking a definition of recurrent ketoacidosis as three or more episodes within 4 years, 39 patients were identified.

Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) results from severe insulin deficiency and can be diagnosed at autopsy despite no known history of the disease. Diabetic ketoacidosis may be the initial manifestation of type 1 diabetes or may result from increased insulin requirement in type 1 diabetic patients.
