The sequential evolution (values at admission, 2, 4, and 6 h after initiation of DKA management) of DKA in patients* with T1D and T2D. A (serial lactate), B (serial PH), C (serial bicarbonate levels), D (serial random blood glucose levels). *In patients with T1D: Lactate at admission (n = 318), 2 h (n = 192), 4 h (n = 200), 6 h (n = 217). Serum PH at admission (n = 480), 2 h (n = 190), 4 h (n = 263), 6 h (n = 251). Serum bicarbonate at admission (n = 480), 2 h (n = 251), 4 h (n = 285), 6 h (n = 312). Random glucose level at admission (n = 480), 2 h (n = 385), 4 h (n = 398), 6 h (n = 417). *In patients with T2D: Lactate at admission (n = 337), 2 h (n = 231), 4 h (n = 246), 6 h (n = 266). Serum PH at admission (n = 442), 2 h (n = 225), 4 h (n = 290), 6 h (n = 274). Serum bicarbonate at admission (n = 442), 2 h (n = 281), 4 h (n = 296), 6 h (n = 341). Random glucose level at admission (n = 442), 2 h (n = 371), 4 h (n = 386), 6 h (n = 404)
