Overview
Historical Perspective
- The known history of diabetes dates back to the Egyptian era, and the first documented evidence was found in an Egyptian papyrus dating back to 1552 BC.
- In 1886, Dreschfeld provided the first description of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) in the modern medical literature. He described it in one of his lectures on diabetic coma and labelled it as one of the sudden causes of death in diabetes.[1]
- In 1971, DKA was referred to as a disorder involving insulin deficiency and glucagon excess.[2]
Landmark Events in the Development of Treatment Strategies
- In 1922 insulin was discovered and isolated by Banting and Best, after which they used it to treat patients with diabetic ketoacidosis.
- In 1945, a study was conducted and it was found that the mortality rate of diabetic ketoacidosis was reduced from to 12% in 1940 and to 1.6% by 1945, after the use of high doses of insulin.
- In Birmingham, UK, high-dose insulin was also being used, leading to a decrease in overall mortality, with doses varying depending on the degree of consciousness, with those unarousable on admission given doses ranging between 500 to 1400 units per 24 hours.[3]
- In early 1970's the concept of low dose insulin for the management of diabetic ketoacidosis was introduced.
- The UK favored the use of insulin infusions of between 1.2 and 9.6 units per hour at a fixed rate during the management of diabetic ketoacidosis.[4]
- In the USA, Kitabchi et al. employed a variety of regimens, based on body weight.[5]
