Two cases of type 1 diabetic women with diabetic ketoacidosis presenting as alkalaemia.
We report two type 1 diabetic patients with diabetic ketoacidosis accompanied by alkalaemia. Twenty-three cases have been reported to date, and the main causes for alkalaemia were vomiting, alkali ingestion, and diuretics use. Our report indicated that poorly controlled diabetic patients who already had autonomic neuropathy are at risk.
