A 7-year-old boy is brought to the emergency department by his grandmother. She informs the staff that she is her grandson's guardian and that he is breathing heavily and smells funny. Laboratory tests confirm that the child is in DKA. During DKA, insulin counter-regulatory hormones, such as catecholamines and cortisol, increase. Profound insulin deficiency results in: 1. Decreased fat mobilization 2. Activation of glucose forming pathways in the liver 3. Increased glucose uptake 4. Activation of bicarbonate buffering

Rose is a 45-year-old patient who was diagnosed with diabetes 2 years ago. Dr. Fisher recently placed her on treatment insulin once per day. Rose was brought to Dr. Fisher’s practice by her 20-year-old son after he found her looking pale, sweating, and shaking while she was gardening.
