  • Diabetic ketoacidosis patients are subject to electrolyte derangements
  • Potassium should be monitored closely:
    • K < 3.3 = Do not give insulin and replete K first
    • 3.3 < K < 5.3 = give 20-30mEq K for each L of IVF
    • K > 5.3 = delay potassium replacement
  • Adult patients are typically severely volume depleted and can require 50 cc/kg bolus or more
  • Insulin typically given in bolus of 0.1 units/kg followed by drip at 0.1 units/kg/hr
