LEVEL 6 · Hospital Mode: DKA Treatment

🚨 Care Path: Stabilize fast, prevent damage.

Correct. DKA is life-threatening and needs hospital treatment. Here’s what happens and why:

• 💧IV Fluids — Rehydrate quickly and help flush extra sugar + ketones through urine.
• 💉IV Insulin — Lowers blood sugar to a safe range and stops the body from making more ketones.
• 🔋Electrolytes — Replace and monitor potassium, sodium, chloride to protect heart, muscles, and nerves.

🏃‍♂️ Act quickly. The sooner treatment starts, the easier and safer the recovery. Don’t delay.
