  • Title: Lactic acidosis complicating diabetic ketosis in a patient with hyperthyroidism.
    Author: De Troyer A, Naeije R, Clumeck N, Balasse EO.
    Journal: Diabete Metab; 1977 Mar; 3(1):23-6. PubMed ID: 404202.
    Abstract:
    The present report describes a patient with insulin-dependent diabetes who developed simultaneously lactic acidosis and ketoacidosis following insulin deprivation. Administration of insulin at low doses rapidly corrected both ketosis and lactic acidosis. There had been neither circulatory collapse, nor phenformin intake, and hepatic function was normal. The development of lactic acidosis in this case was possibly precipitated by hyperthyroidism. A review of the literature indicates that lactic acidosis is a very rare complication of diabetic ketosis per se.
