Closing anion gap without insulin in euglycaemic diabetic ketoacidosis

Euglycaemic diabetic ketoacidosis (euDKA) occurs in patients with poor carbohydrate intake who continue to take insulin. For these patients are not truly in the insulin-deficient state, intravenous fluid resuscitation alone can correct the ketoacidosis without any risk of hypoglycaemia. Diagnosis of...
