The traps that quietly cost points
These are the point-loss patterns iHuman never tells you about. We map every one for this case.
⚠
Diagnostic triad: glucose > 250, pH < 7.3, bicarbonate < 18, positive ketones
⚠
IV fluids FIRST (NS bolus), then insulin drip — fluids before insulin
⚠
Must monitor potassium q2h — insulin drives K+ intracellular, replace when K < 5.3
⚠
Anion gap metabolic acidosis: AG = Na - (Cl + HCO3) — elevated in DKA
⚠
Identify trigger: infection (most common), medication non-adherence, new-onset T1DM
