Summary

Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a medical emergency that is associated with significant morbidity and mortality for both patients with type I and type II diabetes. By correcting hyperglycemia and inhibiting the release of free fatty acids, insulin administration leads to decreased ketone formation and resolution of acidosis. Short-acting intravenous insulin is often preferred to subcutaneous administration for initial management due to its short half-life and ease of titration, but patients will eventually need to transition to subcutaneous insulin prior to discharge. The timing of initiation or resumption of home long-acting subcutaneous insulin is controversial in the treatment of DKA. It is currently unknown if resuming a portion or all of the patient's home basal regimen during the initial treatment phase of DKA will provide an impact on patient care. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of early glargine administration if the patient was not previously on basal insulin or resuming the patient's home basal insulin regimen within two hours after the start of the intravenous insulin infusion in addition to usual care will improve patient outcomes.
