Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) is a life-threatening paediatric metabolic emergency that is characterized by hyperglycaemia ( greater than 200 mg/dl or 11.1 mmol/l), metabolic acidosis (venous pH less than 7.3 and/or serum bicarbonate less than 15 mEq/l) with associated glycosuria, ketonuria, and ketonaemia.1 The mortality rate for DKA in children in the developed countries has declined to 0.15% - 0.31%.2,3 However, in places with less developed medical facilities, the risk of death from DKA is greater, and children may die before receiving appropriate treatment.
