Majority of DKA patients are in a fluid deficit and present acutely with shock. Therefore, they require fluid resuscitation to restore blood pressure, correct the ketonemia and electrolyte abnormalities, and oliguria. Signs of shock to be mindful for are tachycardia, hypotension, prolonged CRT, pallor, and a weak thready pulse.
