Study Summary

This is a study investigating the best way to treat diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) with intravenous (IV) fluids in the hospital. The purpose of this study is to determine whether the "two bag" system of administering IV fluids for the treatment of adults with DKA leads to a shorter time requiring intravenous insulin (a shorter time to anion gap closure), when compared to usual care the traditional "one bag" system of IV fluids. Participants will be assigned randomly to either the usual care group or the "two bag" system group. Based on studies performed in the past, the investigators predict that patients treated with the two bag system of IV fluids for DKA will have a significantly shorter time requiring treatment with intravenous insulin when compared to the traditional one bag system.

Primary Outcome

Anion gap (Na - Cl - HCO3) is within normal range when corrected for the albumin (time to anion gap closure will be defined as the time to the first occurrence of a normal anion gap).
