Bicarbonate for pH ≤ 7 If low K (<3.5), delay insulin until corrected. Measure K, 2 hours after insulin, every 4 hours until the resolution of D.K.A.. Start K.C.l. (after 2-3h of therapy) as soon as the acidosis starts to resolve. Once the D.K.A. controlled, the patient is awake, can eat then subcutaneous insulin For Hyperglycemic Hyperosmolar State, “Less insulin (0.05 unit/kg/h without bolus)”, less potassium replacement.
