Summary
Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state (HHS) are common, but serious metabolic disorders are often encountered in intensive care. In the intensive care setting, it is common to withhold food from patients during treatment of DKA. However, there is no evidence or current literature supporting this practice. The following proposed research investigates the initiation of an early diet versus withholding food during the treatment of diabetic ketoacidosis.
