How is diabetic ketoacidosis treated?

Patient's question:

Doctor, my mom is 59 years old this year. After dinner tonight, my mom said she was having difficulty breathing, which scared me into sending her to the hospital quickly. The doctor said my mom had diabetic ketoacidosis, so I want to ask how to treat diabetic ketoacidosis?

Doctor's answer:

Usually, in clinical diagnosis, diabetic ketoacidosis patients experience a sudden drop in blood sugar levels. The internal environment's decomposition metabolism goes wrong, leading to this. At this time, the most important thing is to correct the patient's internal environment as soon as possible. Simultaneously, insulin is used to lower the patient's blood sugar. Some severely ill patients may even need to undergo large amounts of liquid digestion therapy. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
