Euglycemic Diabetic Ketoacidosis Mimicking an Acute Asthma Exacerbation in a Young Adult With New‐Onset Diabetes: A Case Report
Open access0 citations
Abstract
ABSTRACT Euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis can mimic acute asthma, including in previously undiagnosed diabetes and without SGLT‐2 inhibitor use. Carbohydrate restriction may precipitate life‐threatening ketoacidosis, particularly with insulin deficiency. Early arterial blood gas analysis and urine ketone testing facilitate prompt diagnosis, enabling timely treatment and preventing complications.
