Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is known as one of the most serious complications of diabetes and associated with significant morbidity and mortality. It consists of a triad of uncontrolled hyperglycemia, metabolic acidosis, and increased total body ketone concentration.1 It leads to high anion gap metabolic acidosis with fall in serum bicarbonate.
