Diabetic ketoacidosis is an acute life-threatening complication of type 1 diabetes. Sometimes it is the first presentation in an undiagnosed child. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) disease (COVID-19) and diabetes mellitus are very much interrelated as diabetes mellitus is associated with an increased risk of severe COVID19 at the same time, many cases of new-onset diabetes had been diagnosed. Hyperglycemia, metabolic acidosis, and ketonemia are classical presentations. It is essential to correct the acidosis and fluid correction and insulin therapy in these patients, leading to vital organ dysfunction. In refractory metabolic acidosis, renal replacement therapy may help

Background: Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) is one of the most commonly encountered diabetic complication emergencies. It typically affects people with type 1 diabetes at the onset of the disease. It can also affect people with type 2 diabetes, although this is uncommon. Methods: Research and online content related to diabetes online activity is reviewed. DKA is caused by a relative or absolute deficiency of insulin and elevated levels of counter regulatory hormones. Results: Goals of therapy are to correct dehydration, acidosis and to reverse ketosis, gradually restoring blood glucose concentration to near normal. Conclusion: Furthermore it is essential to monitor potential complications of DKA and if necessary, to treat them and any precipitating events.
