Success of Insulin Infusion Transitions in Moderate to Severe Diabetic Ketoacidosis With Transition Anion Gap of Less Than or Equal to 12 mEq/L Versus Greater Than 12 mEq/L.

Patients with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) are transitioned from intravenous (IV) to subcutaneous (SQ) insulin upon DKA resolution. Although an anion gap (AG) ≤12 mEq/L is recommended before transition to SQ insulin, there are limited data to support this threshold. To compare the rates of successful transitions to SQ insulin in patients with DKA with an AG ≤ 12 mEq/L versus > 12 mEq/L.
