Video Summary

The presentation discusses controversies and myths in treating diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and hyperglycemic hyperosmolar syndrome (HHS), specifically focusing on fluid management. Research suggests balanced crystalloids may resolve DKA faster than saline. More fluid seems beneficial for faster recovery and may not increase cerebral edema risk. Studies indicate subcutaneous insulin might manage mild to moderate DKA outside ICU more cost-effectively. Early sub-Q Glargine can potentially shorten the ICU stay. However, most findings are from single-center studies, highlighting the need for further multi-center research for more definitive conclusions.
