Medical Therapy

The treatment of diabetic coma consists of insulin and gradual rehydration with intravenous fluids.

Treatment of DKA consists of isotonic fluids to rapidly stabilize the circulation, continued intravenous saline with potassium and other electrolytes to replace deficits, insulin to reverse the ketoacidosis, and careful monitoring for complications.
