Hyperglycemic crises in adults: A look at the 2024 consensus report

Hospital admissions for diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and hyperglycemic hyperosmolar state (HHS), the most severe hyperglycemic emergencies in patients with diabetes, have increased considerably over the past decade. The previous version of the American Diabetes Association's consensus report on the diagnosis and treatment of DKA and HHS was published 15 years ago. The updated consensus report (June 2024) introduces revised criteria for the diagnosis and resolution of DKA and HHS, as well as new recommendations for assessment, management, and prevention.
