  • Title: From diabetic ketoacidosis to hyperglycemic hyperosmolar nonketotic syndrome: the spectrum of uncontrolled hyperglycemia in diabetes mellitus.
    Author: Jones TL.
    Journal: Crit Care Nurs Clin North Am; 1994 Dec; 6(4):703-21. PubMed ID: 7766348.
    Abstract:
    Diabetic ketoacidosis and hyperglycemic hyperosmolar nonketotic syndrome are two examples of uncontrolled hyperglycemia in diabetes mellitus that may prove life threatening. Both disorders result from a breakdown in glucose homeostasis caused by a relative or absolute insulin deficiency. This article compares and contrasts these two disorders with regard to pathogenesis, clinical presentation, and management.
